It's 1953 in Red-baiting, blacklisting Los Angeles, a moral tar pit ready to swallow Easy Rawlins. Easy is out of "the hurting business" and into the housing (and favor) business when a racist IRS agent nails him for tax evasion. Special Agent Darryl T. Craxton, FBI, offers to bail him out if he agrees to infiltrate the First American Baptist Church and spy on alleged communist organizer Chaim Wenzler. That's when the murders begin....©2002 Walter Mosley (P)2009 Audible, Inc. Mystery Suspense Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

Everything was leading to the eventual ending but it was still a great story. I could see Denzel and Don in both characters as I listened.

Great listen.

Loved everything! Everyone needs a friend like Mouse! Crazy asf and will do anything for their friend. I’m so disappointed about EdaMae, though not surprised. I kind of saw that coming and Easy is the one that set it up. Another awesome narrating job from Michael Boatman!

Excellent!
