The Devil Rides Out (Duke de Richleau, #6); is one of a series of unusual books by Dennis Wheatley, who was a mentor-figure to Ian Fleming during WWII; working in the famous 'London Controlling Section'.
From Wheatley's character 'Gregory Sallust', James Bond gleaned some of his famous characteristics (one of over a dozen other figures, of course).
Wheatley was a novelist who specialized in thrillers and occult novels (and sometimes a mix of the two) between the 30s and the 60s. I'm keen to explore his bibliography at some point.
