DESCRIPTION-A RED DEATH plunges Easy deep into the political, legal, and moral tar pits of Los Angeles in the early fifties, when Red-baiting and blacklisting were official policy and racial tensions boiled. Easy is now out of the hurting business, ' and into the housing (and the favor) business, on the strength of funds dating from his earlier advent ures. He's a little older, a little wiser-and in a lot more trouble. He suddenly finds a corrupt, racist IRS agent breathing down his neck (and reaching for his wallet) about some unpaid taxes. His only out: cut a deal with the FBI to infiltrate the First African Baptist Church and spy on a former Polish resistance fighter suspected of stealing defense plans. Meanwhile, Easy's romantic life becomes equally complicated and dangerous when he takes in his old flame Etta Mae Harris. Hard on her heels is Raymond Mouse' Alexander, her ex-husband, Easy's best friend, a dark, gleefully homicidal angel. Then the murders begin and the LAPD decides that Easy is a convenient suspect. His search for the actual murderer must be conducted in an ethical mine field, where the stark choice is between betrayal and survival. A RED DEATH again displays Walter Mosley's wonderful strengths: a hypnotic narrative voice, crackling dialogue, wonderful subsidiary chara cters, the vivid sense of an almost mythical Los Angeles-and a hero with a winning combination of hard-boiled attitude and hard-earned compassion. It is clearly the work of an emerging master of American crime writing. inventory #21311.
