Farewell Amethystine by Walter Mosley
The latest Easy Rawlins mystery from Mosley. Most of his Rawlins novels involve missing person cases. But he does so in his own inimitable style with his Los Angeles PI and WWII veteran encountering casually virulent racism on an almost daily basis. This is set in 1970 so that sort of behavior was out in the open, especially among members of the LAPD. But it's not depicted in a heavy handed or simplistic way. Mosley is too good a writer to fall into that trap. Every one of his books features subtle ruminations on not only race but love and family relations as well.
85/100
