"Like all good narrators, Winfield does more than merely read Mosley's novels; he seems to completely inhabit the colorful characters, speaking from the inside out. These three audio books are ample proof that Winfield is one of America's most underused great actors." --Washington Post

"Easy Rawlins isn't just the best new series detective around, he might be the best American character to appear in quite some time." —Entertainment Weekly

It's 1956 and, times being what they are, no one in official Los Angeles pays much attention as a serial killer murders three black bar girls. But when a white stripper is similarly murdered -- and when she turns out to be a UCLA coed and the daughter of a politically powerful L.A. prosecutor -- all hell breaks loose. The heat is finally on to find the killer.

The LAPD calls on Easy Rawlins for help, for he can go places and do things the police cannot. Reluctantly, Easy accepts their plea and begins a deadly quest that takes him through the seedy jazz joints of Bone Street and the dingy rooms of Hollywood Row. It is a brutal, dangerous odyssey that jeopardizes his marriage and his life -- and leads to a shocking conclusion.
