EASY RAWLINS IS BACK. The iconic detective who leapt to fame in DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS returns.

Walter Mosley's infamous detective Easy Rawlins is back, with a new mystery to solve on the sun-soaked streets of Southern California

Tre svarte barjenter blir funnet myrdet. Deretter en hvit stripteasedanser, myrdet etter samme mønster som de andre. Og da sistnevnte viser seg å være datter av en kjent statsadvokat, bryter helvete løs. Nok en gang blir privatdetektiv Easy Rawlins presset til å engasjere seg.

Vi er i Los Angeles' svarte bydeler, og rasemotsetningene putrer eksplosivt. Easy Rawlins er en tvilsom helt. Han eier flere leiegårder, men leieboerne vet ikke hvem som til sist hover inn leiepengene. Ikke engang den fattige og syke Poitisettia vet hvem hun presses av når hun ikke har betalt leien på to måneder. En dag er hun død, hengt i stuelampa. Easy finner flere døde, og oppdager etterhvert at han er en brikke i et dobbeltspill der forfølger og forfulgt lett forveksles.

Easy Rawlins har mistet fabrikkjobben, og det nye huset hans står i fare for å gå tapt. Det er fristende å bite på det noe uklare tilbudet fra DeWitt Albright - et hundredollars oppdrag med å oppspore en viss Daphne Monet. Beløpet dekker første avdrag på huset, men trekker den godtroende Easy ut i en sump av vonde overraskelser. Underveis mot løsningen sveiper han fra barbersalonger, jazzkneiper og svartes vannhull til hvite folks luksusboliger, som bak den iøynefallende fasaden har desto mer å skjule.

In this thrilling mystery, Easy Rawlins takes a job to find a missing attorney and his beautiful assistant—and faces danger around every corner. It is the Summer of Love and Easy Rawlins is contemplating robbing an armored car. It's farther outside the law than Easy has ever traveled, but his daughter, Feather, needs a medical treatment that costs far more than Easy can earn or borrow in time. And his friend Mouse tells him it's a cinch. Then another friend, Saul Lynx, offers a job that might solve Easy's problem without jail time. He has to track the disappearance of an eccentric, prominent attorney. His assistant of sorts, the beautiful "Cinnamon" Cargill, is gone as well. Easy can tell there is much more than he is being told: Robert Lee, his new employer, is as suspect as the man who disappeared. But his need overcomes all concerns, and he plunges into unfamiliar territory, from the newfound hippie enclaves to a vicious plot that stretches back to the battlefields of Europe.
