Overview
Danny Wallace’s path has never been straight, and it’s never been gentle. Now, as the final book of the trilogy keeps him rooted in Kentucky, the music is louder, the stakes sharper, and the ghosts far less patient.
Seeking quiet in the wake of Caleb's rising fame, Danny retreats to Lake Cumberland, losing himself in the slow, careful craft of building wooden boats. It’s honest work — the kind that settles a man’s hands even when his mind won’t sit still. But the lake has a way of holding secrets, and the workshop’s silence has grown heavy enough to feel intentional.
One night, an old adversary slips inside, expecting a confrontation years overdue. What he finds instead is a moment suspended in stillness… a rowboat waiting… and a truth no one will speak above a whisper.
Devil to Pay closes the 3 Chords and a Lie trilogy with quiet tension and haunting beauty — a story where the hardest battles are fought alone, and the heaviest answers are the ones we never hear out loud.
