"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."

    " Good period mystery. I enjoyed the 1950s LA setting told through the African American community. Fearless and Paris are great characters. "

    " 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. "

    " 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! "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
