Summary

Summary

Winner of the 2018 Richell Prize for Emerging Writers

FIVE WENT INTO THE WOODS. TWO NEVER CAME BACK.

Erin Sloane was sixteen when high school senior Andre Villiers was murdered by his friends.

They were her friends, too, led by the intense, charismatic Ricky Hell. Five people went into West Cypress Woods the night Andre was murdered. Only three came out.

Ativan, alcohol, and distance had dimmed Erin’s memories of that time. But nearly twenty years later, an aging father will bring her home. Now a journalist, she is asked to write a story about the Southport Three and the thrill-kill murder that electrified the country. Erin’s investigation propels her closer and closer to a terrifying truth. And closer and closer to danger.

An unforgettable story of murder, trauma, and childhoods lost, I Shot the Devil is a taut, prizewinning debut novel from an electrifying new talent.
