There's an old saying, originally it was "God is in the
details". It means, the little things are important. "The
Devil is in the details" is probably a corruption of this
saying/bit of a joke out of it. It's used a lot in informal
discussions on law, meaning, the little, seemingly
unimportant clauses in a contract/act of parliament/whatever
are the ones that snare you.

Yes, the modern colloquial usage is basically "it's a bitch
getting all the little things correct", but by positive
implication that's where all the richness, all the fun, and
all the hidden gremlins sulk.

Haven't you ever read that story?
