DENVER, Nov. 5, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In a bizarre suspense novel, author Jay Hansen brings the mysterious worlds of spirits, demons and aliens together. The Devil You Know (now available through 1stBooks) is the story of a demonically possessed boy genius, the spirit sent to drive the demon out and the unique characters that help this spirit along the way.
A spirit from a higher realm is on a mission to cast a demon away from Earth. She takes over the body of a woman, Candace, and enlists the help of a cynical priest, Father Murphy, to help exorcise the demon. They locate the boy, Michael, after media reports about a man murdered by his young son. Michael is placed in a mental institution. Candace gains entry and befriends a patient named Jim. Jim escapes with her and the boy and becomes a valuable asset to her mission.
When Candace needs help separating the human child from the demon, she seeks it from extraterrestrial beings. Hopping into a stolen car and bolting for Area 51 in Nevada, Father Murphy, Candace and Jim find themselves in a few predicaments with the law and the aliens. A UFO picks them up, and the creatures inside run strange psychological tests. With the help of Michael's sister, Katie, the groups successfully casts out the demon from this young child, and Candace takes the evil spirit back to its own realm.
A unique story of good versus evil, The Devil You Know focuses on the paranormal. The author incorporates many actual cases and weaves them expertly into this highly unusual, entertaining plot.
Hansen has been a student of paranormal activity for more than 20 years. From Bigfoot to ghosts, alien abductions to the Western occult tradition, Hansen's experiences lend a distinctive quality to his novels.
