The Return of the Devil
By Tony Brown

Peter Williams, a failing English writer, is in Leysin, Switzerland, to research another novel, his last chance to save his career and marriage.

Miriam Hourbain is an archivist living in neighbouring Les Diablerets. Five hundred years previously her family were entrusted to watch for the return of a powerful Devil who had terrorised the Canton in the Middle ages. Local legend claims it was eventually entombed in the glacier of Les Diablerets by her forefathers.

Mark Stacey is a bestselling American novelist residing in Les Diablerets to complete his latest blockbuster ‘The Devil’s Return.’ Mark’s untimely death in a plane crash leaves Peter with the only remaining copy which he decides to claim as his own.

A series of frightening real life coincidences, including several chilling deaths, mirror the fictional events depicted in Mark’s book. The novel forecasts the thawing of the devil from his icy tomb and the death of either Peter or Miriam as they try to prevent it…

A thrilling tale of the supernatural unfolds as the two principal characters struggle to avoid their inevitable fate.
