Robert Wringham's family is composed of a dissolute father and brother, a pious mother, and a rival father in the person of a fanatical Calvinist minister. He comes to believe that he is one of the elect, predestined to be saved, while others are damned. "A Scottish classic, a world classic."
-Ian Rankin

"A sinister, funny, moving tale of demonic possession, murder and religious fanaticism."
-Sunday Telegraph
