The accusation is based on Tarr’s disappearance after having been seen hanging around Mouse. At the same time Easy learns that his life long friend, Raymond “Mouse” Alexander, is missing but worse, the police are literally gunning for Mouse, who has been accused of the murder of a Pericles Tarr by Tarr’s wife. To Rawlins this means that Christmas, a “government-trained killer” first introduced in Cinnamon’s Kiss, was involved in something extraordinarily dangerous, for Christmas would never otherwise leave his adopted daughter in such a manner. While Easy was saving a friend’s daughter from a life of prostitution-and earn his $300 fee-Easter Dawn, the 8-year-old adopted Vietnamese daughter of Christmas Black is left on his doorstep without notice. She wait for a man who doesn’t have forgiveness in his heart.” Even Feather chastises him: “She waited for you to call…. Nor does his jealousy and stubbornness lessen over time, despite his unabated love for Bonnie, “the woman of life.” Easy refuses to call, Bonnie has no choice but to move on, and the next thing that happens, she calls Easy to tell him that she is marrying the prince. Easy’s jealousy and stubbornness are not abated in the least by the fact that Bonnie’s contact with the Prince being the access that got Easy’s beloved adopted daughter Feather into the special Swiss clinic that cured her from a blood disease that would have killed her, all as related in Cinnamon’s Kiss, the immediately previous Rawlins book. A year has passed since he threw her out of his house for her getting reacquainted with an African prince. Throughout the book, he is preoccupied about his lover Bonnie. The events of Blonde Faith are set in 1967. Anything is possible with Mosley and Rawlins.
Just recall how Mama Jo’s “Louisiana magic” brought Mouse back to life from the seeming mortal wounds he suffered at the end of A Little Yellow Dog. However, what exactly happened to Easy will not be known definitively until either Mosley writes another Rawlins novel or makes a point blank pronouncement that Rawlins is dead. Without revealing specifics, Rawlins may have been killed by what happens to him at the end of Blonde Faith. In truth, the ending is somewhat Soprano-like. The publisher hereby puts everyone on notice that Easy Rawlins may not survive the events of Blonde Faith and that this book may mark the end of Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series, which now spans 10 novels and one collection of short stories. The promos for Walter Mosley’s latest Easy Rawlins’ novel, Blonde Faith, include an “ ecard” that reads as follows: I was thinking that I should call her and beg her to come home.” “And all the time, I was thinking about Bonnie.
