Description:
In this hard-boiled detective novel, Easy finally believes he can lead a 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 classic.
“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“
