New York Times bestseller Walter Mosley's sizzling new novel pits Easy Rawlins against his greatest ever challenge.

Walter Mosley's infamous detective Easy Rawlins is back, with a new mystery to solve on the sun-soaked streets of Southern California

Situationen synes ikke at være til at tage fejl af, da den underskønne Chrystal Tyler kommer ind på McGills kontor med et bundt pengesedler og et problem, der skal løses: en utro mand, der truer med at slå hende ihjel. Der er imidlertid mere end et klassisk hårdkogt krimiplot under opsejling i denne den tredje roman i York Times-bestseller-serien om den grovkornede antihelt og eksbokser, New Yorker-detektiven Leonid McGill. Parallellen virker ubehageligt slående, da McGill opdager at hans kone Katrina ligeledes er ham utro, og i takt med, at sønnen Twill begynder at udvikle småkriminelle tendenser, ser det i det hele taget sort ud med familieidyllen, - ikke mindst når McGills bedste ven samtidig ligger kræftsyg på sofaen. Komplikationerne står i kø og McGill navigerer rundt mellem urimeligt mange forhindringer, på kanten til kaos. Trods gode intentioner må han erkende, at det er lettere sagt end gjort at gå fra bad guy til good guy. Han slås til stadighed med løgn, bedrag og genfærd fra fortiden. New Yorker-forfatteren Walter Mosley får her i den grad sat sin helt på prøve og folder sig samtidig ud som en mesterplotter af rang. New York Blues er kompleks og ambitiøs, mesterligt arrangeret og godt skruet sammen. Serien om Leonid McGill der allerede prises som en klassiker indenfor moderne noir har nu fået fodfæste på dansk grund. Et forfatterskab er slået an og Danmark har i McGill fået en ny hårdkogt krimi-darling.

Men hvorfor har så mange og forskelligartede mennesker pludselig interesse i at finde en tilsyneladende helt almindelig pige?Walter Mosley er her igen på banen sammen med sin grovkornede og charmerende antihelt, detektiven og eksbokseren, Leonid McGill.
