The Hand of the Devil

Ashley Reeves is a young journalist at freak-of-nature magazine *Missing Link.* His future's bright, even if he does spend most of his time investigating hoaxes. When he receives a letter promising him a once-in-a-lifetime story, he jumps at the opportunity. The only thing is, his life is exactly what it might cost him.

The letter is from Reginald Mather, a man who at first seems no more than an eccentric collector of insects, happy to live in isolation on a remote island. But when Ashley finds himself stranded with Mather and unearths the horrific truth behind the collector's past, he is thrown headlong into a macabre nightmare that quickly spirals out of control.

Ashley's life is in danger. . . .

And Mather is not the only enemy. . . .

Gruesome, compelling, and terrifying, *The Hand of the Devil *will make you never want to leave the house without bug spray again.
