The descriptive: "Featuring an Original Easy Rawlins Short Story" is misleading. This is an entire novel! And one vital to the backstory of Easy Rawlin's life. It describes his failed marriage to Regina, fills in details of Easy's boyhood and past, and tells the story of how Feather became a part of the Rawlins family. Easy's relationship to the police is chronicled and illustrates the difficult position he was in as a black man trying to be legitimate but still entangled with his criminal past. If you like Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins books, then this volume is required reading. The pleasure you obtain from doing so enriches your understanding and insight into the Easy Rawlins saga.
