Synopsis
Walter Mosley's quietly dignified hero Socrates Fortlow returns in this follow-up to ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED, ALWAYS OUTGUNNED. This volume of 12 interlocking stories reveals the inner workings of the ex-convict's noble existence within the boiling melting pot of lowlifes and sinners that is his Los Angeles. Socrates' humble desire to walk a straight and narrow path leads him to a troubled youth, whom he unwittingly mentors, and a turn as a social crusader against police brutality.

Industry Reviews
"A surprisingly optimistic conclusion; exciting, exhilarating, truthful and touching. Maybe touch too much of cracker-barrel philosophy, but the compelling narrative eats it all up. Mosley has created an epic hero for our time who still has miles to go."
Oakes
"When popular culture seems content to see the violent as cartoonish, the criminal as a beast and the down-and-out a curiosity, Mosley imagines their humanity, the tangled contradictions that have made them both innocent and responsible for their fate. In WALKIN' THE DOG, he once again throws light on a part of [Los Angeles] we seldom see and proves that appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps we shouldn't praise Mosley for the bravery of his vision; we've come to expect that from him. Perhaps we should be more grateful for the hope he's found in Socrates Fortlow's new and difficult life."
Curwen
"Moving and subtle, gritty and poetic, WALKIN' THE DOG is a memorable and admirable work."
Nolan
"Another compelling Mosley creation."
Plummer
