A very odd little tail. I am thinking it has a hidden meaning in it and I am just too dumb to catch it.

An odd story that is engrossing in its' perception of the antagonist and the protagonist. A recommended read- I'd really like to keep this to read over and over, but I just have too many great books and this one needs to be shared

This was a great book. I have since read other Walter Mosley books, the Easy Rawlins mysteries, for example, and this book is completely different. It is a unique, challenging story told in a very interesting way. It is an artful and significant book and I highly recommend it.

An interesting look at morals and secrets and the strange bond that develops between a wealthy white man and a black man who becomes his captor. Deep and sometimes dark, but highly insightful.
