Ein neuer Fall für Easy Rawlins - vom Meister des literarischen Kriminalromans Walter Mosley. Das Viertel Watts liegt in Ruinen - und die Cops stehen vor Easy Rawlins' Tür. Easy erwartet das Schlimmste - wie üblich. Doch sie wollen seine Hilfe. Eine rothaarige Schwarze, bekannt als Little Scarlet, hat einem weißen Mann während der Rassenunruhen Zuflucht gewährt. Zeugen sahen ihn später aus ihrem Haus fliehen. Kurz danach wurde sie brutal ermordet. Jetzt verfolgt Easy die einzige Spur des Falls quer durch Los Angeles. Der verschwundene Mann ist der Schlüssel, aber er ist nur der Anfang. Verborgen im Herzen der Stadt lauert ein Killer, dessen grimmige Wut so heftig ist wie die Brandschatzungen, die L.A. verwüsteten...

Mosley, Walter / Paul Winfield: Socrates Fortlow Stories, The ... Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned ( Read by Paul Winfield ) Dove Audio Los Angeles 1997
Audio Book Set on two cassette tapes ... Brand New, Still Sealed in Original Publisher's Shrinkwrap ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... Running Time: approximately 3 hours ... Unabridged ... Read by Paul Winfield ... ' In this cycle of 14 bittersweet stories, Walter Mosley breaks out of the genre--if not the setting--of his bestselling Easy Rawlins detective novels. Only eight years after serving out a prison sentence for murder, Socrates Fortlow lives in a tiny, two-room Watts apartment, where he cooks on a hot plate, scavenges for bottles, drinks, and wrestles with his demons. Struggling to control a seemingly boundless rage--as well as the power of his massive "rock-breaking" hands--Socrates must find a way to live an honorable life as a black man on the margins of a white world, a task which takes every ounce of self-control he has. Easy Rawlins fans might initially find themselves disappointed by the absence of a mystery to unravel. But it's a gripping inner drama that unfolds over the pages of these stories, as Socrates comes to grips with the chaos, poverty, and violence around him. He tries to get and keep a job delivering groceries; takes in a young street kid named Darryl, who has his own murder to hide; and helps drive out the neighborhood crack dealer. Throughout, Mosley captures the rhythms of Watts life in prose both musical and hard-edged, resulting in a haunting look at a life bounded by lust, violence, fear, and a ruthlessly unsentimental moral vision ' .... ' Esteemed actor Paul Winfield impeccably reads these "unabridged selections" from the cycle of 14 nonmystery stories in which Mosley introduces a new character, Socrates Fortlow. He is a brooding ex-convict who is stuggling to make sense of the violence, crime, fear, and disrespect in the black community where he lives. Each story focuses on a moral issue with which we witness Socrates argue, question, and fight his way to a dignified and responsible position and course of action. A winning production ' ...
