Description
Fearless Jones and Paris Minton are back in this high-velocity thriller about family, betrayal, and revenge. When Paris's cousin Ulysses S. Grant utters those ominous words, "I'm in trouble, Paris," he knows his neck is on the line too. With family like Ulysses, who is 'Useless' to everyone except his mother, Paris keeps his bookshop door firmly closed. But trouble always finds an open window, and soon Paris is paying a call on his friend and bodyguard, Fearless Jones. As they criss-cross 1950s Los Angeles, where a wrong look can get a black man killed, Paris and Fearless encounter desperate women, secret lives, and more than one dead body. Walter Mosley serves up another taut mystery plot with brilliant characterisations, sharp dialogue, and dark humour - a combination that's as fresh and zesty as ever. This is the third book in the series that began with Fearless Jones and Fear Itself, set in Mosley's favourite fictional territory, played with a lighter touch.
