What happens when a non-believing Presbyterian minister claims he spent three days with the Devil, who'd saved his life? Clearly, he's mad . . . but how to explain the tatty trainers he returned with, and the miraculously mended bone in his thigh? Not to mention his sudden urge to tell the truth? Latter-day Gothic romp or a subtle reflection on religion and faith in the contemporary world, or both, this is marvellous story-telling - I was absolutely hooked.
