It’s the summer of ’48 in the city of Angels and there’s heat on the streets when Daphne Monet hits the sidewalk. Heat when she disappears with a trunkload of somebody else’s cash. Easy Rawlins is a war veteran just fired from his job.

Drinking in a friend’s bar, he wonders how to meet his mortgage when a white man in a linen suit walks in, offering good money if Easy will locate Miss Monet, a blonde with a reputation. It’s a simple decision, but for one thing. Nobody warned him – better the devil you know…

In the sleazy, fearful city, Easy must rely on his instincts, not just to solve the case, but to save his own life.
