Fearless Jones - first US edition
by Walter Moseley
In the post-WWII Watts neighborhood of LA, Paris Minton and Fearless Jones
the first a mild-mannered yet ambitious used-book dealer, the second a
homicidally dangerous yet resolutely loyal companion (and also a World War II
vet) investigate the burning of Minton's bookstore as well as a series of
murders in 1950s Los Angeles. Mixed up in a rather convoluted plot are Jewish
Holocaust survivors, Israeli secret agents, a beautiful femme fatale, some
eccentric evangelicals, and other assorted characters from black L.A. A great
read!
Book has gray boards, quarter bound in with cream-colored cloth, title in red on
the spine.
Jacket is price intact, always mylar protected.
