	Review \| Six Easy Pieces by Walter Mosley
		Easy has his own interest in Teaman -- he's heard that she encountered a man with gray eyes, which happen to be the same color as Mouse's.
		Easy discovers Teaman murdered, and his personal quest to find out whether Mouse is really gone has to be put on hold, while he tries to figure out if the distraught Boughman, or maybe another one of her lovers (minister Medgar Winters is a possibility), killed Teaman.
		As Macdonald and Chandler did with their own, archetypal P.I.s, Walter Mosley has turned Easy Rawlins into a compelling gumshoe, surrounded him with large characters, and put him in an emotional and social context that shows why crime happens, and why it is sometimes inevitable.

	Little Scarlet: An Easy Rawlins Mystery
		But Easy can't tackle this investigation alone; assisting him are the casually homicidal Raymond "Mouse" Alexander, as well as a dogged white detective and a fetching younger woman, who threatens to overturn the settled life Easy has been working toward all these years.
		Little Scarlet, the eighth Rawlins novel (after Bad Boy Brawly Brown), is unusual for Mosley, because it focuses as much on the credible mechanics of crime-solving as it does on the exposition of character and the exploration of L.A.'s mid-20th-century fl culture.
		With the police too worried about their own bad reputations in the enraged fl neighborhoods, Easy is not only left with the task of solving a very intricate murder plot, but he also has to deal with the melting pot of Negro anger.

A young fl woman has been killed in her apartment and the L.A. cops need Easy's help in tracking down the killer, realizing their own white selves are less than welcome in the places that need to be investigated.
