"It is the Summer of Love as Cinnamon Kiss opens, and Easy
Rawlins is deep in a conversation with his lifelong friend
Mouse about robbing an armored car. It's a cinch, Mouse
says. This would be further outside the law than Easy has
ever traveled - but his daughter Feather urgently needs a
medical treatment that costs far more than Easy can earn or
borrow in time." Then another friend offers a job that just
might solve Easy's problem without the risk of jail time.
He has to travel to San Francisco to investigate the
disappearance of an eccentric, prominent attorney and his
assistant of sorts, the beautiful Cinnamon Cargill. Easy
can see there is much more to this story than he is told -
Robert Lee, his new employer, is as shadowy and suspect as
the man Easy is seeking. And the woman who fronts for Lee
is as alluring and dangerous as they come. But Easy's need
overcomes all concerns. Far away from his usual network of
contacts and support, he plunges into unfamiliar territory,
from the newfound hippie enclaves of San Francisco to a
violent and vicious plot that stretches back to the
battlefields of Europe.
