Synopsis
This prequel to the popular Easy Rawlins series (President Bill Clinton is a self-professed fan) fills in the early years in Houston before Easy and Mouse migrated to California. On the brink of marrying his ladylove, EttaMae, Mouse persuades Easy to travel to a town called Pariah for the sake of acquiring quick cash. The journey is an arduous one, robbing Easy of what little innocence he had left. "Gone Fishin'" is essential reading if one is to understand the motives behind Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins, the man readers have come to know and care for through previous novels.

Industry Reviews
"He probes enduring philosophical questions involving fate, sin and the slippery contours of truth and gracefully sifts them through Easy's searching consciousness."
Washington Post Book World - Jabari Asim (02/02/1997)
"Unlike the other books in the series, which are very much in the private eye tradition of deduction and disclosure, `Gone Fishin' is a short, muscular and violent coming-of-age adventure."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Dick Lochte (02/02/1997)
"Full illumination only increases your admiration for Mosley as a novelist and commentator whose tragic awareness of what shapes our life and times is matched only by his saving sense of the absurd."
Literary Review - Philip Oakes (04/19/1997)
"No mystery, but a densely imagined prologue that goes a long way toward explaining why Easy spends so much of his adult life hamstrung by his deepest loyalties, as if every friendship were a life sentence."
Lee
"There can be no better way to start off the new year than with Easy Rawlins. Fans already needing a fix after Mosley's 'A Little Yellow Dog' get happy. Easy and Mouse are back in this `prequel' to the series. Mosley delivers the goods every time, and Easy fans are going to eat this up."
