May Book of the Month
Book Description: We last saw Easy in 2007’s Blonde Faith, fighting for his life after his
car plunges over a cliff. True to form, the tough WWII veteran survives, and
soon his murderous sidekick Mouse has him back cruising the mean streets of
L.A., in all their psychedelic 1967 glory, to look for a young black man,
Evander “Little Green” Noon, who disappeared during an acid trip. Fueled by an
elixir called Gator’s Blood, brewed by the conjure woman Mama Jo, Easy
experiences a physical, spiritual, and emotional resurrection, but peace and
love soon give way to murder and mayhem. Written with Mosley’s signature grit
and panache, this engrossing and atmospheric mystery is not only a trip back in
time, it is also a tough-minded exploration of good and evil, and of the power
of guilt and redemption. Once again, Easy asserts his reign over the City of
(Fallen) Angels.
