IN THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF THE ACCLAIMED EASY RAWLINS SERIES, EASY IS SENT DOWN MEMORY LANE... BLINDING HIM TO REASON AND RISK, MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE ANYTHING BUT BLACK AND WHITE.

When Amethystine Stoller - his own personal Helen of Troy - arrives, seeking answers about her ex-husband's disappearance, Easy wants to believe he has a simple case on his hands.
But the investigation sends him on a trip down memory lane: haunted by loss, love, and a hunger that has eaten at him since he was a Black boy on his own on the streets of Fifth Ward, Houston, Texas.
As the case becomes personal, Easy faces a reckoning. A new decade brings with it new expectations: men and women, Black and White, and wrong or right. To save his soul and solve the case, Easy has a big choice to make...

PRAISE FOR WALTER MOSLEY:
'Simply the best crime writer around today.'
GAURDIAN
'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.'
SUNDAY TIMES
'This is classic noir territory, filled with unintentional heroes with the best intentions and dangerous dames . . . A class act.'
TIME OUT
'It's Mosley's signature style-rough-hewn, rhythmic, and lyrical-that makes you ready and eager for whatever he's serving up...Let the good times roll.'
KIRKUS REVIEWS
'A mystery master.'
