Liked It “Hard to beat Mosley -- I was missing Easy Rawlins, and this isn't another Easy novel, but a more modern version of Easy, transported to NYC. It's got great pace, dark characters, and an appreciation of real life human nature. Highly enjoyable read...” see full review » see other reviews » |

Walter Mosley weaves a tight but cockeyed story, interesting, brutal and laughing out loud fun... just the way I like my reading”“Advance readers copy”

“I might be a little biased since Walter is one of my very favorite authors but this book was just plain good. Leonid is his latest character who, like Easy Rawlins has a complex occupation and an even more complicated home life. Well written in that gritty crime fiction style that Walter is well known for. ”

“Contemporary protagonist, New York City setting, muddled family situation, ex-boxer turned detective, kind of.

Liked Easy Rawlins in the 40's in L.A. better”“...if you are a Mosley fan you will enjoy this one too. It is part of a long running story since A Devil in a Blue Dress.....”

“This book was great. Very descriptive writing, suspenseful, twists and turns, character development. But I expected nothing less from Mr. Mosley.”
