Just finished Walter Mosley's 'The Long Fall.' Mosely's back with another detective, Leonid McGill, who is yet another complicated, relationship-torn, hard-drinking, Black PI. Entertaining book. The interior Chandler-esque monologue is always cool, and the writing is mostly good with the odd cliche lapse, here and there. Mosely's plotting is secondary to character, like Elmore Leonard's, but the ride is complicated and enjoyable and he ties it all up at the end. One quibble is that Mosely's protagonists are always in personal contact, if not friends of, with the city's baddest and most powerful people - rings false every time Walter. Looking for a good, quick read? Can't go wrong with this one. If you can find it remaindered, like me, even better.
