The town is Los Angeles. The hero is Easy Rawlins, an out of work black war veteran. The mortgage payment's coming due, so Easy accepts the assignment of finding Daphne Monet, a blonde torch singer with a penchant for jazz and criminal black consorts. In his search through a sleazy, fearful city, he is lucky to be under the protection of the murderous Mouse who wants a piece of the action. Easy Rawlins is a fascinating creation driving a plot that carries a fine and bitter sting. With this first novel, Walter Mosley made a distinctly confident start to his career as a great and inspirational writer.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Friends of the Mill Valley Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52182440018151,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/3397\/3991\/files\/41PdVf03MEL._SL160.jpg?v=1781071009","url":"https:\/\/friendsmvl.org\/products\/mosley-devil-in-a-blue-dress-easy-rawlins-paperback-different-cover-art","provider":"Friends of the Mill Valley Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
