It's 1953 in Red-baiting, blacklisting Los Angeles, a moral tar pit ready to swallow Easy Rawlins. Easy is out of "the hurting business" and into the housing (and favor) business when a racist IRS agent nails him for tax evasion. Special Agent Darryl T. Craxton, FBI, offers to bail him out if he agrees to infiltrate the First American Baptist Church and spy on alleged communist organizer Chaim Wenzler. That's when the murders begin....©2002 Walter Mosley (P)2009 Audible, Inc. Mystery Suspense Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Everything was leading to the eventual ending but it was still a great story. I could see Denzel and Don in both characters as I listened.

Great listen.

Loved everything! Everyone needs a friend like Mouse! Crazy asf and will do anything for their friend. I’m so disappointed about EdaMae, though not surprised. I kind of saw that coming and Easy is the one that set it up. Another awesome narrating job from Michael Boatman!

Excellent!
