Asta Olivia Nordenhof is an award-winning poet and author. Money to Burn, the first book in the Scandinavian Star septology, was first published in Denmark in 2020. It was awarded the PO Enquist Prize and the European Union Prize for Literature and was shortlisted for the Nordic Council Literature Prize. An international sensation and translated into eighteen languages, Money to Burn was published in English by Jonathan Cape. The Devil Book is the second in the series and was an instant bestseller upon first publication in Denmark.

Covering much of the same ground as her last novel — the interrelation between money, sex, violence and gender, capital’s power to console or benumb — The Devil Book shares the same bristling, didactic prose, but with a welcome barbed humour... a lacerating literary harnessing of rage at a decrepit system, held together by Nordenhof’s defiantly unique voice
