Ghostman by Roger Hobbs
4.0
A very well written book, with an articulate first person narrative. It isn't about good people, the civilians in the background. It is about the criminals who operate both in the background and in the foreground in society. This is kind of along the same vein as Burke from Vachss's novels.
The main character is a Ghostman, someone who can change their appearance, mannerisms, etc. to disappear. He focuses on helping bank robbers "ghost". It is an interesting point of view.
I like how the author demonstrates why the main character has a deep vocabulary. He translates the classics from their original languages as a hobby.
The book is fast paced and quite detailed. I'm going to see if there are more.
