Devil's Island: A Novel - Tapa blanda

What happens when a portal into hell opens on a tropical island hosting an exclusive resort for the super rich and powerful? This is the scene that greets a young banker and his fiance who have come to revive their floundering relationship and a would-be penitent who arrives after killing London’s most notorious gangster. The new arrivals soon realize that the sole objective of the island is the satanic corruption of the world’s most privileged. They are subjected to haunting visions and possession and are ultimately forced to choose between giving in to temptation or joining forces with the stubborn resident priest who relies on the Latin sacraments and holds a deep seated mistrust of anything modern as he battled to protect his flock. Good and evil do battle using their souls as the battleground with surprising results in this darkly humorous tale.
