Mobspeak: The Dictionary of Crime Terms
by Carl Sifakis
The Dictionary of Crime
Terms is the definitive guide to the language of the criminal world,
explaining the words and phrases that crooks and felons use to describe
themselves, their associates, their victims, and crimes. Some of the
terms are in general use by the public, while others are exclusive to
specific criminal settings and perpetrators. (From publisher)
Book Of the Month
“Profound . . . Powerful
. . . Haunting . . . Lahiri’s prose here is deceptively simple, its
mechanics invisible, as she enters into her characters’ innermost
journeys. [In the title story,] the moment-to-moment rendering of Ruma’s
vulnerability and her father’s rising panic at all that he’s keeping
secret sweeps the reader into a compelling emotional landscape. . . .
Lahiri invests [her characters] with great depth. [She is] a writer
working at the height of her powers.” (From Lisa Fugard, Los Angeles
Times Book Review)
