Publisher Description
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.

"Walter Mosely--I love this author! I just noticed yesterday that he writes primarily in declarative sentences, short ones. I enjoy knowing the territory the stories take place in, even just generally, although they are set long before I was ever in Los Angeles."

" Really enjoying (re)reading Easy Rawlins. Didn't much care for the ending of this - it sort of fizzled out - but enjoyed the twists and turns, and catching up with the usual crew (Jesus, Feather, Mouse, Etta Mae) "

" I wouldn't recommend it to anyone and wasn't impressed but I read it, so I guess I didn't HATE it... "
— Sophie, 2/4/2014 -
" I liked this book, but it is the first Mosley book I've read and I'd heard such terrific things about this series, I was a little disappointed. But definitely liked it and will try and start at the beginning of the series. "
— Gay, 1/26/2014 -
" Enjoyed this very much. Liked that it was set in 1966 and that I found at least three anachronisms. That was fun. I'm going to read some of his other books because I enjoyed this so much. "
— Chris, 1/23/2014 -
" Another master piece as Mosley again deals with the racial issues in a way that doesn't inflame people. Just my thoughts. "
— Murvin, 1/20/2014 -
" Like visiting an old friend! Devil in a Blue Dress "
— Rachel, 1/11/2014 -

" An ARC I had picked up and never read. Interesting to read something the editors haven't gone through. It was good though, I like Easy Rawlins and can see why Walter Mosely is so popular as an author. His voice is authentic... "
— Susana, 1/2/2014 -

" Another entertaining crime book with Easy Rawlins on a case, this time hired by a private eye. Walter Mosley's Rawlins' books are a delight. "
— Phillip, 8/17/2012 -
" great read first time I am reading about Easy Rawlings "
— Shannon, 7/3/2012 -
" Page turning, edge of your seat narrative. Had me so into the plot last night I was scared to walk out to my workshop for fear of a man in a snakeskin jacket appearing. "
— Jeffro, 5/28/2012 -
" Liked the book, but not as much as the earlier Easy Rawlins books. Some of the scenes in the book were repeats from earlier books. "
— Dougj, 4/11/2012 -
" A straight, if wildly improbable, plot-line, well carried out. Easy still seems not to recognize major double standard when it comes to fidelity, and just when you feel he might have the point hammered into him, he misses the boat once again in the novel's final passage. "
— Spiros, 2/13/2012 -
" Walter Mosley is the best. This book was one of my favorites. Such a good story, with lots of twists and turns. Mosley is a one of a kind storyteller. This one is a mystery and I loved it! "
— Chelsea, 11/3/2011 -
" I listened, not his best or maybe Easy Rawlins is more cynical than usual in this period piece in LA after Watts, and in San Francisco at dawn of hippies - you can tell it was written by a man because every woman wants to jump in bed with him. "
— Liz, 7/28/2011 -
" What can I say? Mosely is the man! "
