Easy Rawlins is on the brink of robbing an armoured car with his dangerous friend
Mouse. Easy needs a lot of money fast to pay for life-saving treatment abroad for his
sick daughter. But if anything goes wrong he'll end up behind bars, or worse. Then,
another way of making money presents itself. A prominent lawyer and his assistant,
'Cinnamon' Cargill, have gone missing. Imperious Robert Lee wants them found
though Easy is suspicious of the man and his motives. The action unfolds during the
1960s summer of love and the trail takes Easy into the unfamiliar culture of the
hippies. Easy is a driven man: damaged by his wartime experiences, haunted by the
fears of what might befall his daughter. He also wrestles with the pain of his suspicion
and jealousy of his partner Bonnie. Mosley continues to write seminal crime fiction
that speaks about American history in a vivid and captivating way. Unmissable.
