Six Easy Pieces: Easy Rawlins Stories door Walter Mosley
Dit was mijn kennismaking met de hoofdpersoon, Easy Rawlins, werkend als concierge voor een zwarte scholengemeenschap en daarnaast bijklussend als speurneus voor de minder bedeelden en vrienden in zijn omgeving. Speelt zich af begin jaren '60. Beetje Chandler achtig, maar dan met een zwarte hoofdpersoon
