The sane men of Satan

Charles Justin is a polished executive at a Boston bank, yet he feels more at home among the city’s cobblestone streets and centuries‑old landmarks than in his sleek office. Walking past the State House and the historic neighborhoods that once echoed with the footsteps of Paul Revere, he savors the lingering presence of America’s revolutionary past. The contrast between the polished, modern world he inhabits and the living history that surrounds him creates a quiet tension that drives his thoughts.

One night, after a routine dinner with his wife Marie and their psychiatrist friend, a sudden, inexplicable decision draws Justin back toward a forgotten era—and toward something far older than any textbook. He discovers that the devil, long relegated to myth and moral tales, is very much real and far more dangerous than the caricature of brimstone and horns. As the shadows of Boston’s historic streets close in, Justin must confront a mystery that blurs the line between his comfortable present and the dark forces lurking beneath the city’s storied façade.
