I'm partial to the Easy Rawlins and Fearless Jones books, but this was decent stuff. I've always loved Mosley's way of dealing with big themes without choking the reader with messages, and this book was sort of a departure from that style. I wasn't as gripped by this as I was by many of his other books. But I'll always love his voice, and his characters are always real to me. A bit disappointing, and a big build-up to what amounted to the exact opposite of a big ending, but the book was by no means a waste of time.
