    <![CDATA[<p>Michael Gardiner has lived in Coldhaven all his life yet still feels like an outsider. When Moira Birnie, convinced that her abusive husband is the devil, kills herself and her two young sons but spares her fourteen-year-old daughter, Hazel, Michael uneasily recalls his past connections to Moira. As teenagers, Michael and Moira had a brief romance; more troubling, Michael was responsible for the death of Moira&#8217;s brother, the town bully. In the wake of the tragedy, Michael becomes obsessed with Hazel, who is just old enough to be his daughter. Aware of his obsession, Hazel convinces Michael to take her away from the village and her father. Their journey takes readers backward and forward in time, gradually uncovering the secrets of the past.<br/><br/>Set against the untamed Scottish landscape, THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS explores the elemental forces of everyday life: love, fear, grief, and the hope of redemption. It is a novel of mysterious beauty, written with the clarity and power of a folktale.</p>]]>

When Moira Birnie, convinced that her abusive husband is the devil, kills herself and her two young sons but spares her fourteen-year-old daughter, Hazel, Michael uneasily recalls his past connections to Moira. As teenagers, Michael and Moira had a brief romance; more troubling, Michael was responsible for the death of Moira&#8217;s brother, the town bully. In the wake of the tragedy, Michael becomes obsessed with Hazel, who is just old enough to be his daughter. Aware of his obsession, Hazel convinces Michael to take her away from the village and her father. Their journey takes readers backward and forward in time, gradually uncovering the secrets of the past.<br/><br/>Set against the untamed Scottish landscape, THE DEVIL'S FOOTPRINTS explores the elemental forces of everyday life: love, fear, grief, and the hope of redemption. It is a novel of mysterious beauty, written with the clarity and power of a folktale.</p>]]>
