Happy Sunday! Our march author is Walter Mosley, who has written more than 60 books, television and film stories and plays, and won numerous awards for his work. I'm currently reading the first book in his mystery thriller series - Devil in a Blue Dress - about Easy Rawlins, a Black freelance private eye in the late forties.
"In Los Angeles of the late 1940s, Easy Rawlins, a black war veteran, has just been fired from his job at a defense plant. Easy is drinking in a friend's bar, wondering how he'll meet his mortgage, when a white man in a linen suit walks in, offering good money if Easy will simply locate Miss Daphne Monet, a blonde beauty known to frequent black jazz clubs."
The story is quite engaging and I'm looking forward to reading more of the series.
Mosley has written multiple mysteries including Fearless Jones, King Oliver, Leonard McGill, Socrates Fortlow as well as numerous science fiction stories, non fiction, and graphic novels.
