The seventeenth Easy Rawlins novel finds Easy in 1970s Los Angeles, no longer a street-level operator but the head of his own detective agency — complete with its first woman detective, promoted from his secretary's desk. The case comes from the underworld itself: power players hire Easy to find Lutisha James, a woman out of his own past who once knew him under another name and who holds information that could destroy him. Finding her means walking back through everything his respectable agency was built to leave behind, with his oldest friend Mouse never far from the frame.
