Black Betty

Fiction > African American, Mystery > Modern Detective

In 1961, Elizabeth Eady, aka "Black Betty," a housekeeper for an immensely wealthy Beverly Hills family, mysteriously disappears. Saul Lynx, a private eye, finds Easy Rawlins - whose small real estate empire is in trouble and facing bankruptcy - and offers him $400 to track down Black Betty. Easy's trouble increases when his murderous sidekick, Mouse, is released from prison with revenge on his mind. Although finding Betty seems like a simple task, nothing about this woman is simple, and Easy soon finds out that her trail is paved with blood and he may be the next victim of her deadly charms.
