"An engrossing, psychologically complex and politically astute novel." āThe New York Times
Haiti, 1991. When a violent coup dāĆ©tat leads to the fall of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, American expat Matt Amaker is forced to abandon his idyllic, beachfront scuba business. With the rise of a brutal military dictatorship and an international embargo threatening to destroy even the countryās most powerful players, some are looking to gain an advantage in the chaosāand others are just looking to make it through another day.
Desperate for moneyāand survivalāMatt teams up with his best friend and business partner Alix Variel, the adventurous only son of a socially prominent Haitian family. They set their sights on legendary shipwrecks that have been rumored to contain priceless treasures off a remote section of Haitiās southern coast. Their ambition and exploration of these disastrous wrecks come with a cascade of ill-fated incidentsāone that involves Misha, Alixās erudite sister, who stumbles onto an arms-trafficking ring masquerading as a U.S. government humanitarian aid office, and rookie CIA case officer Audrey OāDonnell, who finds herself doing clandestine work on an assignment that proves to be more difficult and dubious than she could have possibly imagined.
Devil Makes Threeās depiction of blood politics, the machinations of power, and a country in the midst of upheaval is urgently and insistently resonant. This new novel is sure to cement Ben Fountainās reputation as one of the twenty-first centuryās boldest and most perceptive writers.
