Reviews
"A prelude to a potentially fresh--and dangerous--chapter in Rawlins' life. Things are never simple for Easy Rawlins. But his creator remains a master of the genre."-- Kirkus Reviews, "As in previous entries, the twists and turns of the investigation take a back seat to Easy's emotional journey, and Mosley sheds keen light on the difficulties of navigating life in America as a Black man....Mosley's fans will enjoy themselves."-- Publishers Weekly, "Evocative of both classic noir and 1970s Los Angeles, Mosley's latest Easy Rawlins story (following Blood Grove, 2021) offers wisdom about human connections folded smoothly into page-turning action. Readers will find a bolstering escape in Rawlins' world, which is constructed of densely woven loves, grudges, and debts and infused with abiding optimism."-- Christine Tran, Booklist, STARRED, "A beautiful and intriguing woman sends Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins down a handful of more-than puzzling rabbit holes when she asks him to find her missing ex-husband in 1970s LA. Mosley's singular, stellar, hard-boiled private investigator shines irresistibly once again."-- Boston Globe, "For fans of long-running PI series, historical mysteries, missing persons, and the mob! You can always count on Mosley for a deep dive into characters with a solid mystery case investigated from beginning to end." -- Jamie Canaves, Book Riot, "Walter Mosley brings a winning formula of the dramatic, enigmatic and poignant in crafting a cogent tale. Easy Rawlins is a genuine salt-of-the-earth character whose adventures never fail to excite the reader's interest." -- BookReporter, "L.A. is definitely changing, but watching Easy navigate its nastier vicissitudes while speaking truth to power is "Farewell, Amethystine's" -- and this enduring series' -- North Star." -- Paula Woods, Los Angeles Times

Synopsis
From "master of the genre" ( Washington Post ) Walter Mosley, Detective Easy Rawlins' latest client sends him down a warren of memory and nostalgia--blinding him to reason and risk. January 1970 finds Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, LA's premier Black detective, at 50 years of age despite all expectations. He has a loving family, a beautiful home, and a thriving investigation agency. All is right with the world... and then Amethystine Stoller, his own personal Helen of Troy, arrives. Her ex-husband is missing. A simple enough case. But even as Easy takes his first step in the investigation he trips. He falls into the memory of things past. Little things, like loss, love, a world war, and a hunger that has eaten at him since he was a Black boy on his own on the streets of Fifth Ward, Houston, Texas. The missing ex, a young white man named Curt Fields, is found dead. Easy's only real friend in the LAPD, Melvin Suggs, has gone into hiding rather than allow his femme fatale wife to go to the gas chamber. And that's only the beginning. Easy finds himself pressed into a reckoning. All of his success cannot succor his heart. The 1970's have ushered in new expectations of men and women, Black and White, and Easy has to make a choice that will almost certainly hasten a permanent descent, one that might sunder his soul.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
- 0***i (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
