Shame the devil : a novel
George P. Pelecanos (Author), Little, Brown and Company (Publisher)
"The Farrow brothers have come to the city with mayhem on their minds. Setting out to rob a restaurant, they see the job go spectacularly wrong: While Frank kills several of the restaurant's workers, a cop spots Richard in the getaway car and kills him in a gunfight. Speeding away Frank hits and kills a young boy out for a walk with his mother. It's a disturbingly bloody and ruthless encounter, even for D.C. Dimitri Karras, the father of the boy, joins a grief-counseling group for survivors of the murders. But Frank Farrow hears of the group and joins it in his own way: He vows to take vengeance for his brother by killing everyone who had a hand in his death. Karras realizes it's up to him to stop Farrow--if he can come up with a plan that will work, and if he can overcome his own fears and scruples." -- From dust jacket
