Fall Preview 2023

The award-winning author of BILLY LYNN'S LONG HALFTIME WALK has penned a brilliant and propulsive new novel about greed, power and American complicity set in Haiti. In DEVIL MAKES THREE, Ben Fountain's depiction of blood politics, the machinations of power and a country in the midst of upheaval is urgently and insistently resonant.

We hosted a special 24-hour Fall Preview contest where five readers won a copy of DEVIL MAKES THREE. Congratulations to our winners!

 

More about DEVIL MAKES THREE:
Haiti, 1991. When a violent coup d’état leads to the fall of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, American expat Matt Amaker is forced to abandon his idyllic, beachfront scuba business. With the rise of a brutal military dictatorship and an international embargo threatening to destroy even the country’s most powerful players, some are looking to gain an advantage in the chaos --- and others are just looking to make it through another day. Desperate for money --- and survival --- Matt teams up with his best friend and business partner, Alix Variel. They set their sights on legendary shipwrecks that have been rumored to contain priceless treasures off a remote section of Haiti’s southern coast. However, their ambition and exploration of these disastrous wrecks come with a cascade of ill-fated incidents.
