In this instant bestselling thrilling mystery from Walter Mosley, Detective Easy Rawlins has settled into the happy rhythm of his new life when a dark siren from his past returns and threatens to destroy the peace he's fought for.
The name Easy Rawlins stirs excitement in the hearts of readers and fear in the hearts of his foes. His success has bought him a thriving detective agency, with its first female detective; a remote home, shared with children and pets and lovers, high atop the hills overlooking gritty Los Angeles; and more trouble, more problems, and more threats to those he loves. In other words, he's still beset on all sides. Rising in the city's criminal underground is a woman cannier than any card shark or kingpin, a woman feared by all, threatening the businesses of all, whom Easy must quickly locate and neutralize. She goes by the name Lutisha, but Easy will recognize her as the woman who set his entire adult life into motion. Nineteen-seventies Los Angeles is a transient city of delicate, violent balances, and Lutisha has upended that. She also has a secret that will upend Easy's own life, painfully close to home.
