ReviewsAdvance Praise for LITTLE GREEN: "In 2007's Blonde Faith , set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what his creator indicated was likely his last appearance. Now, after two months of sliding in and out of consciousness, Easy begins the long journey back to the living, in Mosley's superb 12th mystery featuring his iconic sleuth.... If there were an Edgar for best comeback player, Easy Rawlins would be a shoo-in." -- Publishers Weekly (starred) "Mosley fans were pining for the resurrection of Rawlins. Their dreams have come true.... Mosley returns here to doing what he does best: setting the pain and pleasure of individual lives, lived mostly in L.A.'s black community, within an instantly recognizable historical moment and allowing the two to feed off one another.... [A] major event for crime-fiction fans." --Bill Ott, Booklist, Advance Praise for LITTLE GREEN: "In 2007's Blonde Faith , set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what his creator indicated was likely his last appearance.

SynopsisEasy Rawlins is back and cruising the hippified streets of the Sunset Strip circa 1967, in search of a young black man who has gone missing--and maybe of his own rebirth. After 11 books, Easy Rawlins is one of the small handful of private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called immortal., When Walter Mosley burst onto the literary scene in 1990 with his first Easy Rawlins mystery, "Devil in a Blue Dress"--a combustible mixture of Raymond Chandler and Richard Wright--he captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers (including future president Bill Clinton). Eleven books later, Easy Rawlins is one of the few private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called iconic and immortal. In the incendiary and fast-paced "Little Green," he returns from the brink of death to investigate the dark side of L.A.'s 1960s hippie haven, the Sunset Strip. 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., When Walter Mosley burst onto the literary scene in 1990 with his first Easy Rawlins mystery, Devil in a Blue Dress --a combustible mixture of Raymond Chandler and Richard Wright--he captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers (including future president Bill Clinton).

A Good Book but definitely showing wear
A good book but not in great condition. We are collectors. The cover had a small tear in it. Corners of pages are crimped. There is wear on the bottom binding (see pics). This is not a collection book, only a basic reading copy. It's really too bad. I admit that if there had been pictures of the condition, I probably would have passed on the purchase.
