Ezekiel “Easy” Porterhouse Rawlins is an unlicensed private investigator turned hard-boiled detective always willing to do what it takes to get things done in the racially charged, dark underbelly of Los Angeles. For over 30 years, readers have voraciously consumed the 15 book series and the films based on the series starring Denzel Washington. Join us as we welcome back award winning novelist Walter Mosley to discuss his latest Easy Rawlins' novel Blood Grove and hear readings from some of the series' favorites.
