Synopsis

In this icy noir from a master of American fiction, the darkest secrets are the ones we keep hidden from ourselves.

Ben Dibbuk has a good job, an accomplished wife, a bright college-age daughter, and a patient young mistress. Even as he goes through the motions of everyday life, however, inside he feels nothing. The explanation for this emotional void lies in the years he spent as a blacked-out drunk before pulling his life together—years in which he knows he committed acts he doesn't remember. Then a woman from his past turns up at a gala for his wife's new gig at a magazine called Diablerie and makes it clear that she remembers something he doesn't. Their encounter sets wheels in motion that will propel Dibbuk toward new knowledge and perhaps the chance to feel again. With the same erotic force as Killing Johnny Fry but grounded in a far darker vision of human nature, Diablerie is a transfixing new novel from one of our most powerful writers.

Goodreads review by Derek

Mosley is best known for his action/mystery novels, especially those featuring Easy Rawlins. Though a success through the years, he's been somewhat saddled by the fact that none of the followups in that series matched his first, Devil in a Blue Dress. But in between the more formulaic pieces he's go......more

I am a Walter Mosley fan from way back. I consider Easy Rawlings, Socrates Fortlow, and Leonid McGill literary uncles who I care about and want to succeed no matter what. But, Ben Dibbuk, I don't know about. Dibbuk is a computer programmer whose past begin to shape his present based on a chance enco......more
