Known to Evil by Walter Mosley
A mystery caller sends Leonid McGill to an uptown address 'just to check a girl's okay'. There's no explanation - just a name - Angelique - a reward, and the chilling knowledge that he's working for Rinaldo Alphonse, the most feared man in New York. What LT finds is a crime scene. A girl lies with her face blown off, her assassin felled by a knife. But the dead girl isn't the one LT was sent to find, and her killer's injuries don't make sense. The next day Alphonse comes calling: LT must find Angelique before the assassin's assassin tracks her down. Alphonse isn't the only one who wants a bit of LT's time - the NYPD, finding his appearance too convenient, think they can finally put away the thorn in their side. But why do so many people want a piece of the apparently normal, clean-living Angelique? And why is the mafia coming after McGill, linking his sons - shy Dmitri and streetwise Twill - to the escape of a sex trafficked Belarussian girl? As both plots career towards a thrilling finale, McGill must put his street know-how and book of lethal contacts to the test, while haunted by the re-appearance of a face from his crooked past and his wife Katrina's continued infidelities.
"Above all he demonstrates once again his wizardry with dialogue, matched only by that other great master Elmore Leonard" -- MARCEL BERLINS THE TIMES - 27.3.10 "The voice ot the narrator - low, intense and soaked in melancholy - is what hooks us into this second mystery by Walter Mosley to feature Leonid McGill." THE SCOTSMAN - 10.04.10 "Superior crime writing from one of the best in the business." BIG ISSUE - 29.03.10
