Critically-acclaimed author Walter Mosley will read from his latest novel, "Blonde Faith," from 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday Oct. 10 at the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Ave., Microsoft Auditorium, Level 1.
The program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required. Limited parking in the Central Library garage is available for a $5 special event rate. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
In "Blonde Faith," Mosley's newest and tenth installment in the Easy Rawlins series, Rawlins, Los Angeles' most reluctant detective, comes home one day to find Easter, the daughter of his friend Christmas Black, left on his doorstep. Easy knows that could only mean that the ex-marine Black is probably dead, or will be soon.
Mosley is the author of 29 critically acclaimed books and his work has been translated into 21 languages. His popular mysteries featuring Easy Rawlins began with "Devil in a Blue Dress," in 1990 which was turned into a movie starring Denzel Washington. Others in the series include "A Red Death, White Butterfly, Black Betty" and "A Little Yellow Dog," both of which were New York Times bestsellers.
Mosley has won numerous awards, including Anisfield Wolf Award, an honor given to works that increase the understanding and appreciation of race in America.
