''A major new talent announces himself'' Attica Locke, New York Times bestselling author of Guide Me Home and Bluebird, Bluebird

''A debut of enormous ambition that succeeds on every level. .. a page-turning, rollicking novel'' Nathan Harris,
New York Times bestselling author of The Sweetness of Water

An audacious debut spanning eight generations of a Black family in West Tennessee as they are repeatedly visited by the Devil.

Yetunde awakens aboard a slave ship en route to the United States with the spirit of her dead sister as her only companion. Desperate to survive the hell that awaits her at their destination, Yetunde finds help in an unexpected form-the Devil himself. The Devil, seeking a way to reenter the pearly gates of heaven, decides to prove himself to an indifferent God by protecting Yetunde and granting her a piece of his supernatural power. In return, Yetunde makes an incredible sacrifice.

Their bargain extends far beyond Yetunde''s mortal lifespan. Over the next 175 years, the Devil visits Yetunde''s descendants in their darkest hour of need: Lucille, a conjure woman; Asa, who passes for white; Louis and Virgil, who risk becoming a twentieth-century Cain and Abel; Cassandra, who speaks to the dead; James, who struggles to make sense of the past while fighting to keep his family together; and many others. The Devil offers each of them his own version of salvation, all the while wondering: can he save himself, too?

Steeped in the spiritual traditions and oral history of the Black diaspora,
The Devil Three Times is a baptism by fire and water, heralding a new voice in American fiction.
