At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the
product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent
the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the
death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and
murdered under inexplicable circumstances. A mental
breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the
world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which
were all too real.
Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the
blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned
musician and younger brother of a rising late-night TV star,
he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig
had it all, and more—he had Merrin and a love
founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely
midsummer magic.
But Merrin’s death damned all that. The only suspect in
the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never
cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New
Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich
and connected parents pulled strings to make the
investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can
say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has
abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside. . .
.
Now Ig is possessed of a terrible new power to go with
his terrible new look—a macabre talent he intends to use to
find the monster who killed Merrin and destroyed his life.
Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It’s
time for a little revenge. . . . It’s time the devil had
his due. . . .
