"Paris and Fearless find themselves entangled in a rich black woman's history and her money. They try to stay alive with a crazy white guy on their trail. Paris Minton's love of books and Fearless Jones' loyalty to him add warmth and depth to the characters. Don Cheadle's reading of this book just couldn't be better."

" The audiobook is superbly read by Don Cheadle. "
— Stef, 1/13/2014" the book is similar to "Bad Boy Brawley Brown" in finding someone, yet more twists and turns with fearless jones included. So far its good "
— Alex, 1/6/2014" Good period mystery. I enjoyed the 1950s LA setting told through the African American community. Fearless and Paris are great characters. "
— Rachel, 12/13/2013" A good book; not perfect, but certainly enjoyable. Sometimes I get annoyed w/ stupid things, and naming a jazz musician "Lips McGee" is one of them. I shouldn't care, it's irrelevant as far as the book is concerned, but I'll never forget that name and how lame it is. "
— Dave, 11/23/2013" Just when you think he can't get any better than Easy Rawlins this series is written and it was great. Paris is quite a character. "
— Angela, 9/24/2013" This is the first book by Walter Mosley that I read. I couldn't put it down. Paris Minton and Fearless Jones were so real and believable. Since then I've read most of Mr. Mosley's other books and will continue to read them as long as he continues to write. Brilliant! "
— Marty, 8/31/2013" These get better as they go, and I like them better than the Rawlins series. Among my favorites. "
— Benjamin, 7/3/2013" Typically excellent Mosley noir, with a lot moving under the surface. "
— Ero, 8/4/2012" It was an interesting story. "
— Jason, 5/10/2012" Really great book, outstanding charcters with enough plot twists to keep one interested yet not too confusing.Paris Minton and Fearless Jones are two guys I would love to sit and have some drinks and listen to some jazz and talk books wars and women "
— Billie, 3/24/2012" It's unadulterated fun rooting for Paris, the protagonist, and his friend Fearless. They are two basically good guys who get tangled up with crooks and murderers. "
— Marissa, 3/10/2012" A nice exploration of another character in the Easy Rawlins universe.Full of the period detail that you've come to expect from Walter Mosley as well as being a good, fast paced mystery. "
— Dan, 11/25/2011" alot of twist and turns in this book.... "
— Felice, 10/25/2011" I liked Mr. Mosely's writing style and his choice of words in this book. Socrates is a rough, gruff, dude who has a view of the world unique to himself. But this is the kind of book that if you're not into Mr. Mosley, you'd probably fall asleep reading it. "
— MavLit, 7/22/2011" Very interesting suspense yarn set in the 1950s Era. The southern dialect that Moseley employs in his writing can be difficult to pronounce, but thus far, it's quite interesting. "
— Veronica, 7/1/2011" I've always thought of Walter Mosley as a legendary figure in literature. "Fear Itself" probably wasn't the best place to start but it was enough to inspire further reading. "
— Curtis, 6/27/2011" Mosley does it AGAIN! Walter Mosley is one of my all time faves. This book was especially well done. Just when I thought I knew what would happen in this mystery, he took a different turn. Excellent read! "
