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

Fearless Jones and Paris Minton return in a high-velocity thriller about family, betrayal, and revenge. ‘I’m in trouble, Paris.’ Paris Minton has heard these words before. They mean only one thing: that his neck is on the line too. So when they are uttered by his lowlife cousin Ulysses S. Grant, Paris keeps the door to his bookshop firmly closed. With family like Ulysses – ‘Useless’ to everyone except his mother – who needs enemies?

But trouble always finds an open window, and before long Paris is paying a call on his long-time friend and bodyguard, Fearless Jones. Criss-crossing the complicated landscape of 1950s Los Angeles, where a wrong look can get a black man killed, Paris and Fearless find desperate women, secret lives, and more than one dead body along the way. Walter Mosley serves up another taut mystery plot humming with brilliant characterisations, sharp dialogue and dark humour – a combination as fresh and zesty as ever.

This is the third book in the series that began with Fearless Jones and Fear Itself. It is Mosley’s favourite fictional territory, played with a lighter touch.
