Publisher's Summary
Rose Gold is two colors, one woman, and a big headache.
In this new mystery set in the Patty Hearst era of radical black nationalism and political abductions, a black ex-boxer self-named Uhuru Nolica, the leader of a revolutionary cell called Scorched Earth, has kidnapped Rosemary Goldsmith, the daughter of a weapons manufacturer, from her dorm at UC Santa Barbara. If they don't receive the money, weapons, and apology they demand, "Rose Gold" will die - horribly and publicly. So the FBI, the State Department, and the LAPD turn to Easy Rawlins, the one man who can cross the necessary borders to resolve this dangerous standoff. With twelve previous adventures since 1990, Easy Rawlins is one of the small handful of private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called immortal. Rose Gold continues his ongoing and unique achievement in combining the mystery/PI genre form with a rich social history of postwar Los Angeles - and not just the black parts of that sprawling city.

Mosley is a great storyteller and Rose Gold delive
When the first Easy Rawlins story came out it was in the late 1940's and Rose Gold takes place in the late 1960's, Mosley provides historic as well as cultural insights to the black/white paradigm in each of his stores. It is done with a skill that is almost cinematic for me. I can see what he describes, I can smell the patchouli, the marijuana and heat of the sun on my neck. Rose Gold has some interesting and unexpected twists and turns that Mosley manages to weave together into marvellous tapestry. The character development and think fast on your feet ability of Easy Rawlins never disappoints. As my review in #Audible1 suggests, I recommend this story to anyone who wants to live the American experience through the eyes of Easy Rawlins!
