Walter Mosley (DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS) introduces longtime readers and fresh eyes to a new leading man with THE LONG FALL. Leonid McGill is an aging New York private detective who's tiring of the fast life and shady transactions. Not that he's feeling guilty for the methods he formerly employed, but now, as he explains, "I still plied my trade, but now I worried about things." But changing his ways proves not so simple.

Industry reviews
"McGill is someone you can definitely settle down with." (03/22/2009)
""THE LONG FALL offers [Mosley] a chance to expand on the themes of race and modern American society that have run through his earlier books." (03/24/2009)
"Mosley cinches...plots elegantly together as he moves McGill between the worlds of new and old money and into the lives of crooks, cops and every species in between. We follow eagerly, seduced by Mosley's laconic style and by a newly arrived hero who seems to have been around forever." (03/25/2009)
"Mosley's taut, rough-edged prose is totally befitting his character. He keeps McGill in proper perspective by pulling back on his intuitive ability, so that the crime does not just solve itself. As a result, the reader quickly becomes immersed in the story line, groping along with the hard-boiled PI as he begins to connect the dots." (04/05/2009)
"[O]ne of the finest mysteries I've read in some time....Mosley has created not only the newest of the great fictional detectives, but also an incisive and insightful commentator on the American scene. THE LONG FALL is tightly plotted with unforeseeable twists, to say nothing of fully realized characters and exceptional dialogue.... And one last thing before I close: Have I told you yet how much I loved this book?" (04/22/2009)
