The Duke Is a Devil
Karen Lingefelt
Dane Armstrong, Duke of Bradbury, has caused enough trouble for aspiring author Cecily Logan that she's written a book about him—but for her eyes only, since it reads as if she might be in love and hoping to trap him into marriage. When the manuscript is stolen by a third party who schemes to profit from it unless the duke yields to blackmail, Cecily courts scandal by calling on Bradbury to ply his so-called ducal powers against publication—or one of them will face ruin and ridicule. What Cecily doesn't know is that Dane's already used those fabled powers to read the book and learn the secret she fears will make her a laughingstock. The devil in him wants to see how far she'll go to prevent the disaster she imagines, even to plotting seduction and surrendering to wicked temptation. Cecily may not have to forfeit her soul, but Dane soon finds himself in danger of losing his heart.
Only the Devil Is Here
Stephen Michell
A boy and his captor are on the run from relentless pursuers in "a suspenseful horror-action hybrid with memorably warped characters and . . . cinematic flair" (Publishers Weekly). When six-year-old Evan is kidnapped from his foster home, he is dragged into a world of shadows, monsters, and fire. Though he is desperate to escape from his violent captor—a man who calls himself Rook—Evan soon learns that Rook is the only one who can protect him from even more terrible dangers. As Evan discovers the mysterious man's magical abilities, he begins to wonder if Rook is a man at all. Pursued across the wintery Southern Ontario countryside, with police dogs at their heels and deeper horrors lurking in the woods, Evan and Rook come to understand each other. Because Evan also has magical powers—ones he doesn't yet know how to control.

The Devil Is a Black Dog
Sandor Jaszberenyi
In the nineteen extraordinary stories that comprise The Devil Is a Black Dog and Other Stories, writer and photojournalist Sándor Jászberényi shows us the human side of war and revolution in the contemporary Middle East and Africa, and of the social upheaval that has held Eastern Europe in its grip since the fall of communism. Characters contemplate the meaning of home, love, despair, family, and friendship against the backdrop of brutality. From Cairo to the Gaza Strip, from Benghazi to Budapest, religious men have their faith challenged, and people under the duress of war or traumatic personal memories deal with the feelings that emerge. Often they seem to suppress these feelings . . . but, no, not quite. Set in countries the author has reported from or lived in, these stories are all told from different perspectives, but always with the individual at the center: the mother, the soldier, the martyr, the religious man, the journalist, and so...

The Dealer is the Devil
Adrian Newstead
Art
Adrian Newstead's explosive memoir lifts the lid on what Robert Hughes once described as "the last great art movement of the 20th century." After thirty years sitting round campfires with Aboriginal artists all over Australia, Newstead has produced the definitive expose of "the first great art movement of the 21st century". From remote indigenous communities with their dispossessed populations of tribal elders and troubled youth, to the gleaming white box galleries, high powered auction houses, and formidable art institutions of major cities all over the world. Newstead combines personal anecdotes with an insider's grasp of the inter national art market. With vivid portraits of artists, dealers and scamsters, the book races from pre-contact and colonial days to the heady celebrations of the Sydney Olympics and the devastating impact of the global financial crisis.
