Pepper is the surprised inmate of a mental institution in Queens, New York. In the darkness of his room, on his first night, a terrifying creature with the body of an old man and the head of a bison nearly kills him before being hustled away by the hospital staff. It’s no delusion: The other patients confirm that a devil roams the hallways when the sun goes down. Pepper rallies three other inmates in a plot to kill the monster that’s stalking them. But can the Devil die? 
 
The Devil in Silver is a thrillingly suspenseful literary work about friendship, love, and the courage to slay our own demons.

    I couldn't put the book down from the moment I read the 1st page. It had a lot of great moments which lead me to reflect on my own life. It's a must read!
