Protest wafts like smoke through the thick air, and Black private detective Easy Rawlins gets a visit from a white Vietnam veteran. The young man comes to Easy with a story that makes little sense, about his lover, a beautiful young woman, and a man he may have killed. Inclined to turn down what sounds like nothing but trouble, Easy takes the case when he realizes he can't ignore their bond as veterans. The veteran is not Easy's only unlooked-for trouble. His adopted daughter Feather's white uncle shows up uninvited, unsettling the life Easy has forged for her. Where Feather sees a family reunion, Easy suspects something else, something that will break his heart.

       2016., Adult, Doubleday Call No: MYS Fic Mos   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Easy Rawlins mysteries   Volume: 14Summary Note: "Picking up where his last adventures in Rose Gold left off in L.A. in the late 1960s, Ezekiel 'Easy' Rawlins finds his life in transition. He<U+2019>s ready--finally--to propose to his girlfriend, Bonnie Shay, and start a life together. And he<U+2019>s taken the money he got from the Rose Gold case and, together with two partners, Saul Lynx and Tinsford 'Whisper' Natly, has started a new detective agency. But, inevitably, a case gets in the way: Easy<U+2019>s friend Mouse introduces him to Rufus Tyler, a very old man everyone calls Charcoal Joe. Joe<U+2019>s friend<U+2019>s son, Seymour (young, bright, top of his class in physics at Stanford), has been arrested and charged with the murder of a white man from Redondo Beach. Joe tells Easy he will pay and pay well to see this young man exonerated, but seeing as how Seymour literally was found standing over the man<U+2019>s dead body at his cabin home, and considering the racially charged motives seemingly behind the murder, that might prove to be a tall order. Between his new company, a heart that should be broken but is not, a whole raft of new bad guys on his tail, and a bad odor that surrounds Charcoal Joe, Easy has his hands full, his horizons askew, and his life in shambles around his feet."--From publisher.

Knopf Canada Call No: SC BLK MYS Fic McC    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series.   Volume: 19Summary Note: When Mma Potokwane suggests to Mma Ramotswe that she run for a seat on the City Council, Mma Ramotswe is at first unsure. But when she learns about the proposed construction of the flashy Big Fun Hotel next to a graveyard, she allows herself to be persuaded. Her opponent is none other than Violet Sephotho, who is in the pocket of the hotel developers. Although Violet is intent on using every trick in the book to secure her election, Mma Ramotswe refuses to promise anything beyond what she can deliver--hence her slogan: "I can't promise anything--but I shall do my best." To everyone's surprise, she wins. As it turns out, politics does not agree with Mma Ramotswe. Though everyone is supportive, she eventually resigns. She thinks there will be a new election, but she discovers that the rules state that in such an event, the runner-up automatically takes the seat. Violet is triumphant, and sure that she will get the Big Fun Hotel planning application through without a hitch. But Mma Makutsi and Mma Potokwane are not about to make it easy for her. Through it all, Mma Ramotswe uses her good humour and generosity of spirit to help the community navigate divisive issues, and proves that honesty and compassion will always carry the day.
