Crosshairs of the Devil
Yancey Williams’ fifth novel
Crosshairs of the Devil is the story of Eddie Jablonski — an aging, bestselling, award-winning crime-fiction writer who, protests aside, has just been relocated (admitted) (institutionalized) to Room 315 of the Garden of Eden retirement community by his insistent, money-grubbing, and inattentive daughter.
Inside the compound, a disgruntled Eddie keeps right on writing. His imaginative, creative wanderings — and the stories that follow — begin to blur the line between the world he’s been confined to and the worlds he conjures on the page.
It is Williams at full tilt: moxie with zing, the darker side of Macbeth from the other side of the Moon. Savor and enjoy.
What to expect
Williams’ sharpest, most propulsive storytelling yet — a story-within-a-story driven by an unforgettable narrator and a freshly stated realism that leaves the reader wanting more.
