What to expect

Life for Easy is uncharacteristically... easy. He's set up his own agency and is about to propose to his sweetheart Bonnie.

But all that changes when his old friend Mouse - one of the deadliest men in America -appears at his door, asking for a small favour. The favour is to help the son of a friend of Charcoal Joe, who has been wrongly imprisoned. Charcoal Joe is a mythical figure in LA, a man who pulls all the strings but is known to very few. Reluctantly, Easy agrees - he owes Mouse his life. But it turns out this is no small favour, and Easy is drawn into one of his deadliest and far-reaching investigations yet...

Critics Review

  • Simply the best crime writer around today. One of the joys of Mosley’s writing is the ease that characterises every aspect of it… The characters live and breathe in a way that is utterly convincing and absorbing

    Guardian
  • Easy Rawlins comes back from the dead, inspiring his creator to write his best novel for years

    Mail on Sunday on LITTLE GREEN
  • This is classic noir territory, filled with unintentional heroes with the best intentions and dangerous dames… A class act

    Time Out
  • There are few writers within the crime genre who recreate time and place with Mosley’s effortless exactness, even fewer who can replicate his masterfully sustained sense of danger
