Search - Little Scarlet: An Easy Rawlins Novel
|
|
|
||||
Book Description:
Watts is smoldering in ruins - and the cops are on Easy Rawlin's doorstep. Easy expects the worst, as usual. But, incredibly, they're asking for his help. A redheaded woman known as Little Scarlet had sheltered a man during the riots. Witnesses later saw him fleeing her building; not long after, Little Scarlet was found viciously murdered. Now, with his old friend Mouse at his side, Easy follows the case's single clue across Los Angeles. The missing man is the key, but he's only the beginning.
Hidden in the heart of the city is a killer whose red-hot rage is as fierce as the fires that rocked L.A.

Popular free-lance PI Easy Rawlins helps the police solve a murder and prevent further violence in riot-torn 1965 Los Angeles. This one got great reviews from the critics for its brutal honesty about the racial tensions that caused the city to explode, as well as the taut plotting we've come to expect from author Walter Mosley.

Shantelle G. from GRAND PRAIRIE, TX wrote on 5/8/2007...Great read! Enjoyed this (as it was my first Easy Rawlins novel by Moseley) I have read some of his other work and I like his writing style.
Doug W. from SPRING HILL, TN wrote on 2/28/2007...Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins novels are period pieces set in Los Angeles in the '50's. Little Scarlet is an especially fine story and even if this was the only one of the series you ever read, you'd come away with a sense of having read a book that enriched your understanding of the world.
Roberta G. from SAN FRANCISCO, CA wrote on 5/24/2006...Mystery. Easy Rawlins is asked to investigate the death of a young black woman, allegedly at the hands of a white man, in the aftermath of the Watts riots.
Deborah S. from PARKVILLE, MO wrote on 11/6/2005...A KILLER IN ON THE LOSS IN CHINATOWN
Wade R. from ROCK, WV wrote on 9/26/2005...This book is set in the time of the Watts riots and the police want Easy Rawlins to do an important job for them. The story details not only his attempts at this challenge, but also the thoughts and feelings that surrounded and exploded during this turbulent time. It is a great mystery and an education in race relations at the same time.
