Diablerie

An icy noir from a master of American fiction that proves the darkest secrets are the ones we hide from ourselves. Ben Dibbuk is an affable guy with a steady job. He has been married to a beautiful woman for twenty years and has a lovely young daughter in college. His life is routine and uneventful, and he likes it that way. When a woman he doesn't recognize approaches him with an off-putting mix of familiarity and hostility, he is completely thrown. She claims he is stalking her, yet he doesn't even know who she is. Then he finds out his wife is having him investigated, but he can't fathom why. There is only one man he trusts -- a security guard at the company he works for -- and he pledges to help untangle the web Ben's caught in and protect him if necessary. But as the pieces come together, Ben will have to face the most haunting part of his own soul and make a difficult decision about whether to fess up or cover up. 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.
