New York: Norton, 1996. dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Author's fifth mystery featuring African American veteran, janitor, landlord and sometimes private investigator Easy Rawlins . The San Francisco Chronicle review of this book described Mosley's novels as suffused 'with an incisive, brilliant analysis of life from the point of view of a long-overlooked segment of the American people. Once again, Walter Mosley succeeds in both brilliantly, leaping past the mystery genre to create novels of historic significance.' SIGNED on title page. ISBN: 0-393-039242.
