"A prelude to a potentially fresh--and dangerous--chapter in Rawlins' life. Things are never simple for Easy Rawlins. But his creator remains a master of the genre."--Kirkus Reviews
"Evocative of both classic noir and 1970s Los Angeles, Mosley's latest Easy Rawlins story (following Blood Grove, 2021) offers wisdom about human connections folded smoothly into page-turning action. Readers will find a bolstering escape in Rawlins' world, which is constructed of densely woven loves, grudges, and debts and infused with abiding optimism."--Christine Tran, Booklist, STARRED
"As in previous entries, the twists and turns of the investigation take a back seat to Easy's emotional journey, and Mosley sheds keen light on the difficulties of navigating life in America as a Black man....Mosley's fans will enjoy themselves."--Publishers Weekly
"For fans of long-running PI series, historical mysteries, missing persons, and the mob! You can always count on Mosley for a deep dive into characters with a solid mystery case investigated from beginning to end."
--Jamie Canaves, Book Riot
"A beautiful and intriguing woman sends Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins down a handful of more-than puzzling rabbit holes when she asks him to find her missing ex-husband in 1970s LA. Mosley's singular, stellar, hard-boiled private investigator shines irresistibly once again."--Boston Globe
