The Devils Playlist
A mix of sacred-sounding classical music, stark instrumental tension and unruly folk, rock and blues gives the playlist both the Holy City’s religious atmosphere and the antiheroes’ rough-edged journey. The shift from solemn pieces to songs about judgment, danger and devilry echoes the book’s collision of holy work and unholy deeds.
