Black Betty - Walter Mosley

Five years have passed since the White Butterfly Affair, there?s a Kennedy in the White House and Martin Luther King is in the news. It might look like a new dawn for Black America but for Easy Rawlins times are only getting tougher - his real-estate empire is deep in the hole. Trouble comes knocking once more when Easy?s asked to find a missing woman, Elizabeth Eady, aka ?Black Betty?. From her native Houston to her position as housekeeper for a wealthy Beverly Hills family, Betty?s beauty and raw sensuality have left a trail of chaos and mayhem in her wake. Walter Mosley?s previous Easy Rawlins novels are White Butterfly, A Red Death and Devil in a Blue Dress, a film starring Denzel Washington as Easy.
