Book Description:
It's 1953, a time when Red-baiting was official policy, and racial tensions boiled. Easy Rawlins is in deep trouble. A corrupt, racist IRS agent is breathing down his neck about some unpaid taxes. His only out: cut a deal with the FBI to infiltrate the First African Baptist Church and spy on a former World War II resistance fighter suspected of stealing some top secret government plans.

But the IRS isn't Easy's only problem. His life becomes even more complicated and dangerous when his old flame EttaMae Harris shows up with her murderous husband, Easy's best friend, Raymond "Mouse" Alexander, hard on her heels. And then killings begin, and Easy finds himself playing the role of betrayed and betrayer -- and the prime suspect.

The second book in the Easy Rawlins series. The story takes place five years after the ending of the book "Devil in a Blue Dress." Mosley brings together his dysfunctional group of characters to solve murder and mayhem somehow tied in with the Communist Red Scare of the 1950's.
