Crosshairs of the Devil
Yancey Williams’ fifth novel
Named one of The Bookbag’s Top Ten Self-Published Books of 2021 — rated 4.5/5.
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.
What the critics say
“Oh, I loved, loved, loved, reading this novel. It’s wild and anarchic, rushing backward and forward so that you rarely know whether you’re coming or going… wonderfully charismatic and utterly compelling. If you’re looking for something new and different, Crosshairs of the Devil is the one for you.”
— Jill Murphy, The Bookbag (4.5/5)
