"Richly atmospheric...Devil in a Blue Dress honors the
hard-boiled tradition of Hamett/Chandler/Cain in its story line
line and attitude, but Mosley takes us down some mean streets that
his spiritual predecessors never could have...A fast moving,
entertaining story written with impressive style. This kind of book
that leaves you yearning to read more about Easy Rawlins'
adventures."-- "Los Angeles Times Book Review"
Praise for Walter Mosley and Easy Rawlins "Wonderful page-turning
excitement....Like Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and others, Mosley
has been reconstructing the hard-boiled tradition from the bottom
up....Easy Rawlins moves through mean streets even Marlowe wouldn't
walk."-- "San Francisco Chronicle"
