Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. It was a few Seattle visits ago, the most recent time Walter Mosley read at Central Library: concern ran through the audience as the last of the Easy Rawlins novels to appear, Blonde Faith, ended on a note that was not good—and left readers uncertain where Easy's author might go. The irrepressible, singular Mr. Mosley can and has gone several directions since. A year ago, at the Northwest African American Museum, he showcased his boldest, and newest entry into the annals of memorable detective characters by introducing New York City detective Leonid McGill in his hit novel, The Long Fall. It's an honor and delight to welcome Walter Mosley and Leonid McGill back for the just-released second installment, Known to Evil (Riverhead). "Bestseller Mosley scores a clean knockout in his excellent second mystery featuring New York City PI Leonid McGill. Still striving to atone for some of the lives he's ruined, the 54-year-old McGill laments that there are 'no straight lines in the life or labors of the private detective.' Instead, crises crowd him at every turn ... in this contemporary noir gem." – Publishers Weekly. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
