Ezell Barnes, ex-prizefighter and ex-cop, is the best damn p.i. on the mean streets of Newark, New Jersey. The homeboys call him "Easy!' but he does his work the hard way sometimes he has to let his fists do the talking. His extra ears on the street beat: Angel the Sex Change, a true diamond in the raunch.
PILLOW OF THE COMMUNITY
Holy Moses! Down by the river, among the refuse and the weeds, the wail of a baby in a basket and Easy's off on a wild, loose chase that runs him smack-dab into underworld voodoo mumbo-jumbo and a football payoff flimflam. He's looking for trouble: from the Cola-Nut Grove where Charcoal Brown sells love (or the next best thing) to the Moe-Joe Emporium of Occultism and Spiritualism where the Root Doctors conjure up love potions, from the ghetto gardens where the Newark Sharecroppers dig up rutabagas and riddles, to Rutgers, where a fresh young football hero is suddenly dead ...to his very own bed where spellbinding pillow talk is keeping him up nights...
