...Fearless Jones novels share the same richly atmospheric setting as Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series: black Los Angeles in the pre--civil rights 1950s, a sweltering fever dream of boardinghouses and all-black bars built on the frayed fringes of Raymond Chandlerville. Of course, Mosley is better known for Rawlins, but in many ways the Fearless Jones books make better reading: they're lighter on their feet, funnier and and quicker paced.

Raymond, a tall, impressively hirsute young guy, brought out the drinks, and waited a full 10 seconds before inviting himself to join me. He wanted to teach me some Goan dialect. "You must know susegado," he said. "Maybe it's the reason you came to Goa." Susegado sounds like a Portuguese word but it isn't in the dictionary. Seeing Raymond's easygoing smile, I was able to guess the meaning: chilled out. After another round, Raymond promised to take...
