Synopsis

"[Mosley is] a fearless boundary pusher. His latest is a cold, dark vision...As Mosley ratchets up the tension, it's hard to look away―or stop reading."―San Diego Union-Tribune

With the same erotic force as Killing Johnny Fry, this time with a far darker plot, Diablerie is a transfixing novel from a writer who is a master in any genre.

From AudioFile:

Walter Mosley's novels are full of everyday people with everyday problems. They rarely feature big, brave action heroes who laugh at death. DIABLERIE is odd, even by Mosley standards. The main character (not "hero," please) is an amoral computer programmer who can't seem to feel anything but lust. But it's just possible that during one of his alcohol-induced blackouts Ben Dibbuk found the passion to murder. Who can communicate all that? Richard Allen is up to the challenge. His rich baritone and silky-smooth delivery make Dibbuk and all the other characters seem so very real. He even makes Dibbuk's Russian mistress sound believable, no easy feat.
