About this title

Review:

Praise for the Fearless Jones novels: ?This is classic noir territory, filled with unintentional heroes with the best intentions and dangerous dames; best of all are the rhythms and cadences of language on the page. A class act? Time Out ?This is Mosley?s return to crime writing, and he slips back into the habit like a thirsty man taking a long cool drink... the countless twists make the novel as entertaining as the best Bogart thrillers? Guardian ?Confirms Mosley as one of America?s most gifted writers, of any genre? The Times ?Walter Mosley packs his dialogue tight like a fist, but the economy of language is beautifully lifted by the blues cadences of the characters? dialect? Daily Telegraph

Book Description:

The third in the Fearless Jones series from the author of the Easy Rawlins crime thrillers.
