WALTER MOSLEY

Known to Evil with an appreciation by Gary Phillips [author of slick black PI novels]. 1/66 signed limited

Mosley returns with the "New York Times" bestselling mystery series that's already being hailed as a classic of contemporary noir.

Walter Mosley caused a stir with his New York PI novel "The Long Fall". It featured private investigator Leonid McGill trying to balance what he believes is rightand what is necessary to pay his rent and provide for his family. When he ignors his gut and takes the wrong case; inadvertently assisting in murder, he finds himself fighting for his life. Which is only the beginning of his problems, as his youngest son is also plotting a murder. There is a lot of back story and compelling family drama intermixed with the front burner story line.

This is the next instalment. We are captivated as Leonid must juggle a missing girl hunt with his ever colourful family life and increasingly roguish sons. With stunning dialogue and knowing humour, "Known to Evil" confirms Leonid McGill as one of the crime world's most iconic, charismatic leading men.

Mosley came to the attention of mystery fans twenty years ago with an assured debut “Devil in a Blue Dress”. His work was to become noted for his multi-layed plots, and a mix of comic circumstances, hard social realism and a ear for street language. Over the years has become extolled as one of the most gifted black American writers. His diverse milieu of fans are said to include literary as well as mystery figures - famous names such as President Clinton, noir with realism writer Andrew Vachss and the great voice of America Maya Angelou. He has written over 25 books and his best known for the LA based historical series with PI Easy Rawlins.
