Summary:

1969. Easy Rawlins, the Black private detective whose small agency finally has its own office, gets a visit from a white Vietnam veteran. The young man claims he and his lover were attacked in a citrus grove at the city's outskirts. He may have killed a man, and the woman and his dog are now missing. Inclined to turn down what sounds like nothing but trouble, Easy takes the case when he realizes how damaged the young vet is from his war experiences. Easy will need the help of his friends to make sense of a case that reveals the darkest impulses humans harbor. -- adapted from jacket
