About this listen

 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. Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Mystery Fiction Business Suspense

Second book I’ve listened to by Moseley. Excellent writing, excellent narration. Can’t wait for book 3 in the series

Excellent listen

I'm new to Walter Mosley. having read Devil in a Blue Dress, I thought I'd carry on the series because devil is such a fantastic book. This book didn't disappoint either. Fantastic writing, fab narrating. Can't recommend enough. I'm listening to these books and reading Chester Himes, or Iceberg Slim at the same time. fantastic. Wish Audible would do some Iceberg Slim audio books.

fantastic series so far

I started reading Walter Mosley because John Grisham mentioned the author in the Racketeer. I have found this and other Walter Mosley books about Easy Rawlings very interesting. They have provided me with new insights of a culture very different to 21st century England. I particularly like the development of the character Easy. However, my favorite is Mouse, who I probably would not want to meet in person but always provides color to the stories.

Great Story
