White Butterfly
<p><strong>Andrew Vachss called <em>Devil in a Blue Dress</em>, Walter Mosley's debut mystery featuring Easy Rawlins, a tough black private detective in L.A.'s Watts section, "the most self-assured, uniquely-voiced first novel I've ever read." The <em>Wall Street Journal</em> said of its sequel, <em>A Red Death</em>: "Remarkable...proves Mr. Mosley's debut was no fluke." Readers and critics agree that Walter Mosley is writing novels fit to stand alongside the giants of the L.A. hardboiled tradition.</strong></p>
