The Devil's Diary.

PATRICK MCGINLEY

Publication: Jonathan Cape, 1988, London

First edition. Fine in dust jacket. Father Jerry McSharry returns home to rural Ireland only to find that the peaceful village he once knew no longer exists. His childhood friend, Arty Brennan, has returned from America, a wealthy man. And then Father Jerry's brother, Hugo, comes back to the village and purchases a farm that wealthy Arty covets. Suddenly Hugo is the butt of several malicious pranks, and he thinks that Arty is responsible. Shortly thereafter, Arty is found dead, and Father Jerry discovers his brothers diary ... a book detailing his deepest, darkest thoughts and desires; a book in which the last entry is a compelling, supposedly fictional account of Brennan's disappearance!
