True to his reputation, Ravi Subramanian has scripted a fast paced, well researched book in "Devil in pinstripes". Through the narrator Amit Sharma's life he give us a good glimpse into the shady dealings of the Consumer Loan division in the financial services industry, that hides behind the glass facades of the wonderful buildings in which these institutions have their offices. The daily drudgery of office work, the impact of the power-politics in this industry, the impact that influential individuals in these organizations have, the sheer tempestuousness with which all professional and ethical norms are flouted, the impact on the family lives of the professionals in this career, all of these are touched upon and brought out very well through this novel. In a nutshell, the author follows up his award winning debut novel "If God were a Banker" with this well paced, insightful look into the Consumer Loan division of the Indian banking industry. I don't know why I continue reading this author although his previous book was just mediocre at its best but then have to complete the trilogy right?Ok this book is an improvement on the previous one at least when it comes to the story and the flow and the language but it is not something I would go ahead an recommend someone with interest in stories dealing with corporate world politics because it is just too simplistic and kiddish even now.Hope the last book of this trilogy is better at least, so that I can let Ravi Subramaniam go and move on
