About this ebook
In this hard-boiled Easy Rawlins novel, Easy believes he can finally lead as simple life and leave his haunted past behind him—until he meets a woman who changes everything.
November 1963: Easy’s working as a school custodian in Watts, trying to live quietly in a city simmering with tension. But one steamy encounter with a beautiful teacher pulls him into a mystery darker than he imagined. When she disappears, Easy finds himself at the center of a crime scene—caught between the police, a pair of dead bodies, and a yellow dog that seems to be his only ally.
Haunted by his past and hunted by enemies both old and new, Easy is drawn back into a world of secrets and danger. Set against the backdrop of a racially divided Los Angeles, this is a taut, atmospheric story of survival, identity, and justice—a true American crime fiction class.
