Adventure Thriller The Devil's Eye by Ox Devere | Thriller Pitch Ep 7

The Devil’s Eye is an adventure thriller about a lost alchemist’s notebook that surfaces at a London auction and sparks a high-stakes race across Europe. CIA operatives Ridley Samaras and Booker Douglas must decipher its codes and track down a mystical relic before a ruthless billionaire uses it to seize ultimate power.
In this episode of The Thriller Pitch Podcast, Ox Devere and I talk about how the story was inspired by real-world figures like Jeffrey Epstein, the meticulous research behind the European settings, the challenges of writing both heroes and despicable villains, and why some characters felt like her “spirit animal” on the page.
