A psychological thriller. Murder for money. Murder for pleasure. Prohibition brings a speakeasy to the sleepy town of Baxter City, an old mining town in the Allegheny Mountains of rural Pennsylvania. The characters are authentic, the dialogs sizzle and intrigue abounds. Corruption and greed forces an innocent community to look into the eyes of evil. Hamburger Man is the author's first novel and a must read. Hamburger Man is a psychological thriller. Murder, intrique, vibrant characters and crackling dialogue, and yet the author has a uniquely profound and poetic rhythm to her writing style. Darlene DeAngelo's first novel is a thoughtful journey into the role of fate as it impacts the lives of her characters. In the 1920s prohibition is declared and all alcohol illegal. Unbeknownst to the sleepy coal mining town of Baxter City nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Allegheny Mountains in rural Pennsylvania, they are about to experience a sudden and irrevocable alteration in the fabric of their lives. As the old ways of nostalgia are threatened and challenged by the sudden winds of change wrought by a government far removed from their lives, they find themselves on an inexorable path to a confrontation with evil. Jeremy Sinclair has been in prison since he was thirteen years old. Now thirty-five, he is released to find a world that has changed so dramatically during his two decades of incarceration that it is incomprehensible to him. He finds that he has been swallowed up by evil. Unknowingly he has fallen into the arms of the Mafia, murder and intrigue become a part of his daily life. Then to his amazement he must look into his own painful past. A thought provoking examination of the nature of life and the effects of radical change on simple society, DeAngelo delivers a metaphysical tour de force that explores our nature, the connection between our thoughts and actions, and the energy we create through our being. Is it possible that our thoughts define who we are and then bringing all things onto ourselves ...good and evil? Her sense of time and place is impeccable, bringing to life the rich tapestry of an era long ago with precision and authenticity. A first-rate tale of a town struggling to find its identity in a sea of change, Hamburger Man is a fascinating allegory on modernity, progress, and the inherent nature of man.
