Haiti, 1991. When a violent coup d´état leads to the fall of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, American expat Matt Amaker is forced to abandon his idyllic, beachfront scuba business. With the rise of a brutal military dictatorship and an international embargo threatening to destroy even the country´s most powerful players, some are looking to gain an advantage in the chaos-and others are just looking to make it through another day.
Desperate for money--and survival--Matt teams up with his best friend and business partner Alix Variel, the adventurous only son of a socially prominent Haitian family. They set their sights on legendary shipwrecks that have been rumored to contain priceless treasures off a remote section of Haiti´s southern coast. Their ambition and exploration of these disastrous wrecks come with a cascade of ill-fated incidents--one that involves Misha, Alix´s erudite sister, who stumbles onto an arms-trafficking ring masquerading as a U.S. government humanitarian aid office, and rookie CIA case officer Audrey O´Donnell, who finds herself doing clandestine work on an assignment that proves to be more difficult and dubious than she could have possibly imagined.
Devil Makes Three´s depiction of blood politics, the machinations of power, and a country in the midst of upheaval is urgently and insistently resonant. This new novel is sure to cement Ben Fountain´s reputation as one of the twenty-first century´s boldest and most perceptive writers.
