Midge Raymond and John Yunker talk about their new novel Devils Island

On a remote island off the coast of Tasmania, an Australian wilderness guide embarks on a four-day hike with six guests—and arrives at their destination with only two.

Devils Island is home to abundant wildlife and is the ideal place to re-introduce endangered Tasmanian devils. It’s also a region where travelers can see firsthand the unspoiled drama of Australia’s wild places. For naturalist guide Kerry, the trip offers a respite from the grueling work of trying to save an endangered species. American college classmates Brooke and Jane have a chance to reconnect after years of estrangement. Two Australian couples hope to escape their big-city lives and enjoy the company of longtime friends.

When Jane disappears on the first night, the group assumes she has wandered too far in the stormy weather. Yet it turns out she has a secret connection to one of the other guests—and when another hiker is found dead in camp, the group finds itself isolated by the worsening storm and wondering who among them might be responsible.

“Devils Island is at once a riveting mystery and an eloquent plea to protect our natural world.” — A. J. Banner, #1 Kindle, Publishers Weekly, and USA Today bestselling author

“Devils Island isn’t just a compulsively readable mystery; it’s also a vital meditation on what it means to live through extinction in all its forms. I will not forget my visit to Devils Island anytime soon.” — Mindy Mejia, USA Today bestselling author of To Catch a Storm and Everything You Want Me to Be

“A terrific thriller. You never quite catch your breath as all of the secrets are revealed.” — Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Maneuver
