Devils in Exile: A Novel
reviewed on + 49 more book reviews


After Prince of Thieves, could Chuck Hogan come up with another accurate exploration of harsh, manly relationships that's as compelling and satisfying to read? Well, he did with Devils in Exile. I had high hopes and Devils came through in a huge way. The best post war, ex-GI portrayal I've seen by an author and that was just stage setting for the rest of the book. He goes on to use that premise to weave a thrilling, believable chain of events. And all set so well in Boston that you could get around town without a map after reading the book. A book with no weaknesses.
