Shame the Devil by George P. Pelecanos
Dimitri Karras remembers the summer of 1995 like no other. That was the summer his five-year-old son died after a bloodthirsty robber named Frank Farrow ran him over in his getaway car. Now, three years later, Karras has healed considerably thanks to therapy. But when private investigator Nick Stephanos informs Karras that the killer is back in town, Karras' anger and grief return and inspire an intense tour of revenge. Loosely based on the real-life Starbucks murders that rattled Washington, DC in 1996 and remained unsolved for three years.

The Engineer of Human Souls by Josef Skvorecky, Paul Wilson
Fiction. The expression the engineer of human souls is held, by many political indoctrinators, to be Stalin's definition of a writer: as an engineer constructs a machine, so must a writer construct the mind of the New Man. The Engineer of Human Souls is a labyrinthine comic novel that investigates the journey and plight of novelist Danny Smiricky, a Czech immigrant to Canada. As adventuresome, episodic, bawdy, comic, and literary, as any novel written in the past twenty-five years, The Engineer is worthy of the subtitle Skvorecky gave it: An entertainment on the Old Themes of Life, Women, Fate, Dreams, The Working Class, Secret Agents, Love, and Death. Josef Shvorecky is unquestionably an important writer, blending a great humorous talent with a restless, sustained, probing moral inquisitiveness... The Engineer of Human Souls will certainly introduce the reader to the distinctive Skvorecky world (Ernest Gellner, Times Literary Supplement).
