Reviews
James DeVita has written a riveting thriller featuring a deranged killer and a detective who hears snatches of Shakespeare in his head. It's a terrific read."—Michael Hinden, coauthor with Betsy Draine of the Nora Barnes and Toby Sandler mysteries, "An unpredictable, intelligent mystery that illuminates the darkness simmering in the most idyllic of places. With a little help from the Shakespeare he knows so well, and a keen eye for the gritty realities of rural life, James DeVita brings an incredible cast to this novel's stage, led by one of the most compelling detectives you'll ever meet."--Dean Bakopoulos, author of My American Unhappiness, "An engaging mystery that's a feast of literary allusions. . . . [Detective James] Mangan's 'verbal quirks,' snatches of prose or poetry that pop into his head and help him solve cases, make him an unusually distinctive sleuth."-- Publishers Weekly, "Mangan makes a fine protagonist, but in A Winsome Murder DeVita introduces another cop who could give him a run for his money: Officer Michele Schaefer, of the Winsome Police Department. Although only a small-town cop, Schaefer--who first identified [the] body--has cojones to match her big-city counterpart."-- Mystery Scene, "DeVita . . . creates deep and substantial characters with histories that drive their motives. Detective Mangan's internal voice often quotes Shakespeare . . . giving him characteristics of a deeply intelligent, well-read man working an unjust and bloody job."-- Foreword Reviews, An unpredictable, intelligent mystery that illuminates the darkness simmering in the most idyllic of places. With a little help from the Shakespeare he knows so well, and a keen eye for the gritty realities of rural life, James DeVita brings an incredible cast to this novel's stage, led by one of the most compelling detectives you'll ever meet."—Dean Bakopoulos, author of My American Unhappiness, A story of superior literary merit with a very hard edge and some biting social commentary. Detective James Mangan is complex and interesting, a tough, gritty Chicago cop whose vast reservoir of wonderfully spooky Shakespeare quotations informs his crime-solving skills. It's a fine study of contrasts that folds into a taut, multilayered, highly enjoyable whodunit."—Brian Rieselman, author of Where Darkness Sleeps, "This debut crime novel is a haunting tale of grief and murder that will not soon be forgotten. In James Mangan, DeVita has created a wholly original detective, and it is a treat to follow along as the voices of Shakespeare and Melville lead him to the story's explosive conclusion. With fast plotting and stellar writing, A Winsome Murder is not to be missed."--William Lashner, author of Bagmen, "DeVita has created an exceptional villain and a fascinating and complicated mystery told in a gripping manner. . . . A solid choice for Sean Chercover and Laura Lippman readers and noir fans."-- Library Journal, "A story of superior literary merit with a very hard edge and some biting social commentary. Detective James Mangan is complex and interesting, a tough, gritty Chicago cop whose vast reservoir of wonderfully spooky Shakespeare quotations informs his crime-solving skills. It's a fine study of contrasts that folds into a taut, multilayered, highly enjoyable whodunit."--Brian Rieselman, author of Where Darkness Sleeps, "James DeVita has written a riveting thriller featuring a deranged killer and a detective who hears snatches of Shakespeare in his head. It's a terrific read."--Michael Hinden, coauthor with Betsy Draine of the Nora Barnes and Toby Sandler mysteries

Synopsis
A serial killer brings bloody murder to the pastoral Wisconsin town of Winsome Bay, requiring the expertise of detective James Mangan, a hard-bitten Chicago cop with an unexpected knowledge of Shakespeare., A grisly murder in a pastoral Wisconsin town, Winsome Bay, proves to be only the opening act in a twisting, darkening series of gruesome deaths. Acclaimed already for his young adult fiction, actor/director/playwright James DeVita now debuts an addictive, adult thriller that takes us from Chicago's underbelly to the Wisconsin woods. In this fast-paced novel we meet a gorgeous waitress with a haunted past, an author juggling a failing career and motherhood, and a hard-bitten detective with unexpected inspiration from William Shakespeare's bloodiest plays--and nobody escapes the nightmare created by a psychotic killer of women. Best books for public & secondary school libraries from university presses, American Library Association Outstanding Achievement Award, Wisconsin Library Association (one of ten 2015 books chosen) "A page-turner from beginning to end. . . . Certain to be an enduringly popular addition to community library Mystery/Suspense collections."-- Midwest Book Review "In addition to a unique detective, a wholly original story, and some literary flair, DeVita has filled these pages with timely and biting social commentary, which does much to add to the real feel of this creative whodunit."-- Chicago Book Review, Offering a fresh approach to ancient Greek architecture, Shaping Ceremony focuses on the overlooked subject of monumental steps. Written in a clear and readable style, the book presents three complementary ways of studying steps: examining how the human body works on steps; theoretical perspectives on the relationship between architecture and human behavior; and the socio-political effects of steps' presence. Although broad steps are usually associated with emperors and political dominance, Mary B. Hollinshead argues that earlier, in Greek sanctuaries, they expressed and reinforced communal authority. From this alternate perspective, she expands the traditional intellectual framework for studying Greek architecture. The heart of the study is a close reading of thirty-eight sites with monumental steps from the sixth through second centuries B.C. Organized by century, the book tracks the development of built pathways and grandstands for crowds of worshippers as evidence of the Greeks' increasing awareness of the power of architecture to shape behavior and concentrate social energy. With photographs and illustrations of plans, Shaping Ceremony offers a clear account of how Greeks' adaptation of terrain for human use promoted social cohesion and integrated architectural compositions.
