A Little Yellow Dog

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR WALTER

MOSLEY’S EASY RAWLINS NOVELS

A LITTLE YELLOW DOG

“[A] well-energized and crafty volume….”

—The New York Times Book Review

“Mosley … writes with a pure, true voice. A Little Yellow Dog marks another winner for its remarkable author.”

—Houston Chronicle

“A Little Yellow Dog is just as smoky and sexy as Devil In a Blue Dress…. [Mosley] tells his story fast and hard, sometimes funny, sometimes lyrical.”

—San Jose Mercury News

“Easy Rawlins is back, which is great news…. Mosley’s thrillers, always thrilling, are salutary as well.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“How does Walter Mosley do it? … Each Easy Rawlins mystery is better than its predecessor—richer, more nuanced and, in this case, funnier.”

—Newsday

“Mosley just writes so well—so crisply, so smoothly…. His view of human nature is bone-solid realistic, no illusions.”

—Philadelphia Inquirer

“Early 1960s black Los Angeles is alive in the look and talk of the book…. Easy is a cool dude struggling to stay alive and make sense of his tough and tawdry world.”

—Boston Sunday Globe

BLACK BETTY

“Detective fiction at its best—bold, breathtaking, and brutal.”

—Chicago Sun-Times

“As always, Mosley’s grip on character is compelling.”

—People

“Compelling, multilayered.”

—The Washington Post

“Black Betty is moody, absorbing, and disquieting as a recurrent dream.”

—New York Daily News

“Mysteries don’t get much better than this.”

—Detroit Free Press

WHITE BUTTERFLY

“Rawlins … might be the best American character to appear in quite some time.”

—Entertainment Weekly

“Compelling…. In all of American fiction, only Richard Wright treats America’s race problem more savagely.”

—Village Voice Literary Supplement

“With White Butterfly, Walter Mosley has established himself as one of America’s best mystery writers.”

—The New York Times Book Review

“Powerful…. Like its predecessors, White Butterfly provides excitement, social commentary, and clever, syncopated dialogue. If [Philip] Marlowe was tough, Easy has to be even tougher.”

—Washington Post Book World

A RED DEATH

“Fascinating and vividly rendered … exotic and believable, filled with memorable individuals and morally complex situations.”

—The Wall Street Journal

“Exhilaratingly original.”

—Philadelphia Inquirer
