On the road in a “borrowed” '36 Ford, nineteen-year-old Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins and his companion, Raymond "Mouse" Alexander, are on a perilous odyssey that takes them from Houston to a mysterious bayou world of voodoo, sex, revenge, and death. Their destination is desolate Pariah, Texas—Mouse's home once, and still home to his hated stepfather.

Encountering violent and unexpected threats, Easy and Mouse forge bonds that will link them in the decades that follow as they choose very different paths. Everything they ever knew about friendship and about themselves is coming apart at the seams.

The early years of Easy and Mouse were as sharp edged as those most readers are familiar with. Get intro to Mama Jo, and the desperation of Raymond “mouse” and the tight wire walk that is Easy Rawlins life from the beginning. Worth the listen save the short erotica segment that always seems out of place to this reader.

Mosley is a master of the time machine!

First, I love Walter Mosley 's Easy Rawlin's series of books. This character is so real and super cool. I started reading the series years ago with a Boo Club I joined. We would hear the book and then get together over dinner and have a deep discussion. It was great. Gone Fishin' has another great story where Easy just happens on more mess to get involved in. I love to listen when I'm on the airplane traveling an let the book totally engulf me. Walter Mosley has a way of bring his books to life and you become part of the story, on the side line looking in. The characters and very interesting and I can usually thing of someone in my life that resembles them. If your looking for a great mystery with a real life story, good characters and many laughs, try any of the books in this series.

Love this Character

Great twists in the characters’ backstories. Paul Winfield is an outstanding narrator. And I love the blues tracks between chapters. Short but sweet.

Best EZ Rawlins Book Ever

More contemplative than later Easy Rawlins stories, in keeping with the protagonist recalling his formative years. Winfield’ again shows his mastery of multi-character narratives.
