A Little Yellow Dog by Walter Mosley
In this hard-boiled detective novel, Easy finally believes he can lead a simple life and leave his haunted past behind him--until he meets a woman who changes everything.November 1963: Easy's working as a school custodian in Watts, trying to live quietly in a city simmering with tension. But one steamy encounter with a beautiful teacher pulls him into a mystery darker than he imagined. When she disappears, Easy finds himself at the center of a crime scene--caught between the police, a pair of dead bodies, and a yellow dog that seems to be his only ally.
Haunted by his past and hunted by enemies both old and new, Easy is drawn back into a world of secrets and danger. Set against the backdrop of a racially divided Los Angeles, this is a taut, atmospheric story of survival, identity, and justice--a true American crime fiction classic.
