Slogging my way through Walter Mosley
A side plot has Leonid’s son Twill working in his agency, mostly to keep him away from a life of crime, and placed undercover on assignment to explore how a wealthy young man got mixed up with a gunrunning, drug-selling gang. The bad news: the client’s son is the ringleader.
The book is talky, there are too many characters, and I had zero emotional engagement. Perhaps if I’d read the previous books in the series, I might have been more caught up. But I can only call it as I see it, so All I Did Was Shoot My Man‘s going to the bottom of the ranking.
