A n apostate Minister of the auld Kirk falls to a certain death but miraculously, after three days, he rises again to tell how he was saved by the Devil. Is he mad? Is this true? Is he having a joke? Mixing folklore, the supernatural, faith and its opposite, this is a tangled web that tingles the spine and, with its open-ended conclusion, challenges the reader to make of it exactly what they will.
