Michael Gardiner has lived in Coldhaven all his life, yet he still feels like an outsider. When Moira Birnie, convinced that her abusive husband is the devil, eliminates herself and her two young sons but spares her 14-year-old little princess, Hazel, Michael uneasily recalls his past links to Moira. As teenagers, Michael and Moira had a brief love; more troubling, Michael was responsible for the fatality of Moira's brother, the town bully. Inside the wake of the tragedy, Michael becomes enthusiastic about Hazel, who is merely old enough to be his little princess. Alert to his obsession, Hazel convinces Michael to consider her away from the town and her dad. Their journey will need listeners backwards and forward in time, steadily uncovering the secrets of the past. Set against the untamed Scottish landscaping, The Devil's Footprints explores the elemental makes of everyday life: love, dread, grief, and the wish of redemption. It really is a novel of inexplicable beauty, written with the clearness and vitality of a folktale.
