Master of craft and narrative Walter Mosley returns with this crowning achievement in the Easy Rawlins saga, in which the iconic detectives loyalties are tested on the sun-soaked streets of Southern California (National Book Foundation) It is 1969, and flames can be seen on the horizon, protest wafts like smoke though the thick air, and Easy Rawlins, the Black private detective whose small agency finally has its own office, gets a visit from a white Vietnam veteran. The young man comes to Easy with a story that makes little sense. He and his lover, a beautiful young woman, were attacked in a citrus grove at the city’s outskirts. He may have killed a man, and the woman and his dog are now missing. Inclined to turn down what sounds like nothing but trouble, Easy takes the case when he realizes how damaged the young vet is from his war experiences-the bond between veterans superseding all other considerations. The veteran is not Easy’s only unlooked-for trouble. Easy’s adopted daughter Feather’s white uncle shows up uninvited, raising questions and unsettling the life Easy has long forged for the now young woman. Where Feather sees a family reunion, Easy suspects something else, something that will break his heart. Blood Grove is a crackling, moody, and thrilling race through a California of hippies and tycoons, radicals and sociopaths, cops and grifters, both men and women. Easy will need the help of his friends-from the genius Jackson Blue to the dangerous Mouse Alexander, Fearless Jones, and Christmas Black-to make sense of a case that reveals the darkest impulses humans harbor. Blood Grove is a novel of vast scope and intimate insight, and a soulful call for justice by any means necessary. Review Winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award Featured in the New York Times Book Reviews Paperback Row One of The Seattle Times Best New Paperbacks“Mosley is a master of craft and narrative, and through his incredibly vibrant and diverse body of work, our literary heritage has truly been enriched...From mysteries to literary fiction to nonfiction, Mosley’s talent and memorable characters have captivated readers everywhere, and the Foundation is proud to honor such an illustrious voice whose work will be enjoyed for years to come... what sets his work apart is his examination of both complex issues and intimate realities through the lens of characters in his fiction, as well as his accomplished historical narrative works and essays.” National Book Foundation“Lest one think Mr. Mosley’s middle-age hero-sensitive and contemplative though he may be-is not still up to whatever challenge may confront him, he warns: ‘Easy is my name, not my nature.’” Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal“The ability to simultaneously keep us readers in confusion and in thrall marks Mosley - winner of the National Book Foundation’s 2020 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters - as a mystery master….The central mystery in Blood Grove - as in all the Easy Rawlins books - is as much about the brazen contradictions of American society as it is about what happened in that orange grove one night. But that mystery turns out to be pretty gripping too.” Maureen Corrigan, Washington PostRawlins is the greatest contributor to Los Angeles’ literary culture and its native son’s repute.” Paula Woods, LA TimesMosley’s inimitable rat-a-tat prose style is in full force here, and he keeps his passionate commitment to social issues right up front. A worthy addition to a nonpareil series. Adam Woog, Seattle Times“In the 15th outing for his iconic private detective, Easy Rawlins, Mosley once again chronicles a part of America rendered invisible - and overpowered - by whiteness. The book is set in 1969, with Rawlins on the verge of 50, still struggling with professional and romantic and familial conflicts in a Los Angeles about to be beset by the berserk.” The New York Times Book Review, Editors ChoiceWalter Mosley’s books
