"The depth and the rapidity at which we become invested in these lives shows that it's possible to write from any point of view as long as the writer is willing to do the hard work -- the observation, the imagination, the selflessness -- of getting a character right.... It takes courage to set an extremely complicated work of fiction in Haiti, to write across the lines of class, color, gender, ideology and nationality." --New York Times Book Review

"[A] big, deeply humane political thriller that proves the flame of Graham Greene and John le Carré is still burning." --The Washington Post

"[A] sprawling and sardonic work of geopolitical intrigue." --Wall Street Journal

"The book is packed with Haitian history and culture, politics and scenery. The writing is so vivid you can close your eyes and see the technicolor sunsets, smell the fetid air of Port-au-Prince. Woven throughout is a spy-thriller-worthy plot, complete with buried treasure, double-crosses, gun-running, drug-dealing and deadly factional feuds.... For anyone as invested in Haiti as the author -- or deeply curious about the country -- Devil Makes Three will be a rewarding read." --Dallas Morning News

"[A] bold tale... Fountain brings a Graham Greene-like approach to Haiti's vagaries and wonders. This sweeping, bracing, and sobering exploration of the troubled island nation's perennial, heartbreaking turmoil and geopolitical complications is topical yet timeless, elaborate and nuanced, laden with political intrigue and immersed in cultural rituals." --Booklist (starred review)

"A sprawling, fierce exploration of violence and corruption in the Caribbean... Readers of international thrillers should pounce." --Publishers Weekly

"Ben Fountain's powerfully written novel is many things at once--a spy thriller, a family saga, a love story, a treasure hunt, and a tale of brutal political repression, all set in the charged atmosphere of early 1990s Haiti. By succeeding at all of these, Devil Makes Three reminds us not only of the ways an ambitious, fully engaged novel can further our understanding of the world, but also of how pleasurable and satisfying reading such a novel can be." --Imbolo Mbue, New York Times bestselling author of Behold the Dreamers and How Beautiful We Were

"Ben Fountain portrays with precision the native and foreign devils of Haiti in this extremely well-constructed novel. All must endure the intractability of this complex country, an intractability...that sometimes yields in proportion to one's willingness to risk everything." --Yanick Lahens, author of Moonbath, winner of the Prix Femina

"Woven artfully into the fabric of Ben Fountain's literary thriller Devil Makes Three is a scathing indictment...Reflective and prescient, stunning in its narrative complexity and nuanced characterization, the novel is at once timely and timeless, working double duty as a reminder of the sins of America's past and a warning of those to come." --John Vercher, author of Three-Fifths and After the Lights Go Out

"Devil Makes Three is the sort of expansive, heartbreaking, thrilling novel I didn't realize I was missing until it grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. Writing at the peak of his considerable powers, Ben Fountain makes a harrowing period in Haiti's recent history come wonderfully and tragically alive. This morally complex novel is why we read fiction." --Jess Walter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Cold Millions and Beautiful Ruins

"Devil Makes Three brings the relentless intimacy of great literature to the quest to understand Haiti. In this sense, the novel is both an act of wild faith and an act of mad love and, finally, a triumph." --Bob Shacochis, author of The Woman Who Lost Her Soul and The Immaculate Invasion

"Devil Makes Three is a fast and riveting read, a gripping thriller braided with a couple of credible love stories. This novel will pin your ears back with some of its hard-won truths." --Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls' Rising
