SynopsisIn this thrilling 1950s noir, when a beautiful woman comes into Paris Minton's life, everything starts falling apart--leaving him no choice but to ask Fearless Jones for help. Mosley returns to mysteries at last with his most engaging hero since Easy Rawlins. When Paris Minton meets a beautiful new woman, before he knows it he has been beaten up, slept with, shot at, robbed, and his bookstore burned to the ground.
