Product Description:
Easy should be living a contented life, with steady work as senior head custodian of Sojourner Truth High School, and a loving family. But happiness is as elusive for Easy as smoke in shadows.

Trading favors and investigating cases of arson, murder, missing persons, and false accusations, it's hard to steer clear of trouble. Easy walks the line in this must-have collection from bestselling, award-winning author Walter Mosley.

Rating:  - what can I say ?
the master has spoken. I have all your books. keep keeping on my brother. you are a joy.
Rating:  - Great stories,well read but poorly packaged
These are wonderfully written and read stories. However, the CD's are very user-unfriendly. There is no way to tell where a particular story starts or ends.

Walter Mosley is one of half a dozen detective novelists who are my favorites, who are in my opinion flat brilliant. He's written a number of Easy Rawlins novels, which are almost universally wonderful. This latest collection of short stories really works better as a novel with seven plots, but several background threads that run through the stories. One has Easy wondering if his friend Mouse is really dead, Easy having seen him get shot the previous year. Mouse's woman ran off with the body, though, ... Read More
