The Devil's Tune is a novel by British politician Iain Duncan Smith, published on 6 November 2003, the same day he left office as leader of the Conservative Party after losing a no confidence vote. The book is notable for its uniformly negative reception, selling only 18 copies in its first week of release. Among its negative reviews were from Sam Leith in The Daily Telegraph, who wrote, "And I honestly wish I didn't have to say this, because it feels like kicking a man when he is down... but, really, it's terrible. Human sympathy strains in one direction; critical judgment the other. Terrible, terrible, terrible". John Sutherland, the Northcliffe Professor of English literature at University College London, said "IDS has as much chance of doing a Winston Churchill as Rapper Tony Benn has
