Book Reviews of Shame the Devil
Book Review: A real novel disguised as a thriller
Summary: 5 Stars
Revenge and redemption. Faith and lost faith. Even the inner workings of a diner.Most important: Real people caught up in events that have their own momentum. Good white guys, bad white guys. Good black guys, bad black guys. The bad ones (except one plus one minor character) with redeeming characteristics, the good ones with their own vices and their own ghosts. And, incidentally, in a Washington that's rarely written about... Pelecanos is a 100 times better than the author who won the Edgar this year, which tells me that not only are publishers dumb but so are the authors who vote for empty prizes.
