New books: Walter Mosley's The Long Fall and more
Among this week's new releases is The Long Fall (Riverhead, $25.95) by Walter Mosley. He introduces us to ex-boxer, hard drinker Leonid McGill, an old-school private eye in New York; here's an interview from Barnes & Noble. That may be hard for fans of his Easy Rawlins books, but Mosley isn't looking back. At last fall's appearance at the Baltimore Book Festival, he had some advice for those folks: Go back and re-read your Rawlins favorites. Also out this week:
