"Terrifically entertaining."

It's 1966, and Easy Rawlins is a black man with a mortally sick daughter. Desperate for cash to save her, Easy gets a gig working for a legendary private eye named Robert E. Lee.
At first the missing person job looks simple-then his search uncovers a shocking crime. For the sake of his daughter, Easy stays on the case. But when he knocks on the door of a cinnamon-hued beauty, she leads him to a jackpot and the killer who got there first.
