'Will not disappoint fans of the Easy Rawlins series...The prose is taut and sinewy and Mosley effortlessly creates a classic noir setting' Douglas Field, Big Issue Paris Minton is a man who would rather walk away from trouble, but in 1950s' Los Angeles, it just comes and finds you.

Fearless Jones turns up on Paris's doorstep one night asking him to help an attractive woman find her husband.

One night later a stranger shows up looking for the same man.

It isn't long before Paris is running for his life, and it looks like even his friend Fearless might not be able to save him.
