Devil in a Blue Dress, by Walter Mosley
In 1940’s L.A., newly-jobless war veteran Rawlins decides to take on a P.I. gig to help him swing the mortgage payment on his house. Despite a natural proclivity toward the work, Easy quickly gets in over his head, and his hometown friend, Mouse, travels from Houston to back Easy’s play. As the investigation grows increasingly thornier, the charismatically unhinged Mouse—he of the quick tongue and the even quicker draw—comes perilously close to shooting Easy. But, hey; what’s a little gunplay between friends?
Devil in a Blue Dress is among Alex Segura's nine top jazz-infused crime novels, Lori Roy's five top morality-driven thrillers, and Al Roker's six favorite crime novels.
Raymond “Mouse” Alexander, from Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series, made The A.V. Club's list of “13 sidekicks who are cooler than their heroes.”
