"A psychotic little pulp novel."

What if you had to figure out if your next date was the perfect catch or pure evil? Kordell Christie is a
respected businessman. Mario Cervantes is a childhood friend who reappears out of the blue.
On the surface, the two
men get along great, but Mario's memory is a little hazy, his behavior a little strange, and his dark secrets linked to a
bizarre and twisted world that could become Kordell's worst nightmare (if you haven't read it, don't ask. If you
have read it, don't tell).
Is Mario a dream lover or date from hell? Should Kordell risk
his business, his friends and his life to unravel the mystery?
They both have 72 hours to figure out who has the devil
inside.

Reviews
"A wild ride into the thicket of political issues and psychological thrills. Its several suspenseful
threads include boyhood abuse, recovered memory, cover-up murders, accusations of child molestation, and a crazed cult. Busy,
busy, busy. But Boyd juggles his over-the-top plot with energy, glee, and ease. He has mixed in a coming-out story, some pretty
hot sex scenes, and a good number of well-drawn secondary characters (including a feisty lesbian mom and a queenily sensible
best friend), and shaped them into a highly satisfying roller-coaster-read of a book." Q Syndicate Book Marks
"Boyd
carves out his characters like a sculptor, and as we read we discover new facts about them. But, it is not until the final
chapter that we are able to see the plot come together. An excellent mystery from a terrific writer." 365Gay.com
"A taut thriller, loaded with fantastic twists, turns, and a cast of characters you won't soon forget. A page
turner that will keep you guessing right to the end, The Devil Inside by two time Lambda Book Award nominee Randy Boyd
is the perfect addition to your summer reading list." The Texas Triangle
"A riveting, Hollywood-style
thriller. The most refreshing part? For a change, the two heroes aren't white. Kordell is an African-American with AIDS,
and Mario is, of course, Latino. A third major character is Japanese. Quite a nifty twist to your routine gay male
adventure novel, making this a must summer read." The Letter (Louisville, KY)
"A psychotic little pulp
novel about Kordell Christie, a square gay businessman who becomes part of a mystery that involves mind control, a bad man
named Pizarro, and a place called The Facility where there are drug-enhanced masturbation machines." Unzipped Magazine
