A number of below-the-law powerbrokers plead with Easy to locate a mysterious, dangerous woman Lutisha James, though she's gone by another name that Easy will immediately recognize. 1970s Los Angeles is a transient city of delicate, violent balances, and Lutisha has disturbed that. She also has a secret that will upend Easy's own life, painfully closer to home.
One of the many pleasures of Mr. Mosley’s series is seeing how Easy’s tolerance and understanding mature—even as his personal code of honor remains as solid as ever.
Solid ... Mosley’s intricate plot feels a little more contrived than usual, but his stirring prose and vivid evocation of 1970s L.A. carry the day, and Easy himself is as charming as ever. Series fans will find plenty to enjoy.
