Ignatius Perrish ha passato tutta la notte tra alcol ed eccessi. Il mattino dopo si sveglia con i postumi di una sbronza tremenda, un mal di testa infernale... e un paio di corna che gli spuntano sulla fronte. In un primo momento Ig pensa che siano un'allucinazione, o il prodotto di una mente alterata dalla rabbia e dal dolore. Nell'ultimo anno ha vissuto in un solitario purgatorio personale, dopo la morte della sua amata, Merrin Williams, violentata e assassinata in circostanze mai chiarite. Un esaurimento nervoso sarebbe la cosa più naturale del mondo. Ma non c'è niente di naturale in queste corna, fin troppo reali. Un tempo Ig godeva una vita di privilegi: aveva sicurezza, soldi e un posto nella società. Aveva tutto, e anche qualcosa in più: aveva Merrin, e il loro amore fatto di sogni a occhi aperti e magia. Ma l'assassinio della fidanzata si è abbattuto su Ig come una maledizione: pur essendo innocente, agli occhi della gente è lui l'unico colpevole, e si è comprato l'assoluzione grazie al suo denaro. Tutti, ormai, l'hanno abbandonato. Tutti, tranne uno: il suo demone interiore. Posseduto da un nuovo, terrificante potere e con nuove, spaventose sembianze, per Ig è arrivato il momento di trovare il mostro che ha ucciso Merrin e ha distrutto la sua vita. Essere buono non lo ha portato da nessuna parte. È il momento di una piccola vendetta. È tempo che il diavolo riscuota ciò che gli spetta...

Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache . . . and a pair of horns growing from his temples.

At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances. A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which were all too real.

Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician and younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more?he had Merrin and a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.

But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich and connected parents pulled strings to make the investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside. . . .

Now Ig is possessed of a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look?a macabre talent he intends to use to find the monster who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge. . . . It's time the devil had his due. . . .

But nothing he possesses is as unique or as dreadful as his latest purchase off the Internet: a one-of-a-kind curiosity that arrives at his door in a black heart-shaped box...a musty dead man's suit still inhabited by the spirit of its late owner. And now everywhere Judas Coyne goes, the old man is there—watching, waiting, dangling a razor blade on a chain from his bony hand.
