A Red Death

FBI to infiltrate the First African Baptist Church and spy on a former
World War II resistance fighter suspected of stealing some top secret
government plans.
But the IRS isn't Easy's only problem. His life becomes even more
complicated and dangerous when his old flame EttaMae Harris shows up
with her murderous husband, Easy's best friend, Raymond "Mouse"
Alexander, hard on her heels. And then killings begin, and Easy finds
himself playing the role of betrayed and betrayer - and the prime
suspect.

precinct full of detectives when the cops needed the word in the
ghetto." But Easy turns them down. He's married now, a father -- and his
detective days are over. Then a white college coed dies the same brutal
death, and the cops put the heat on Easy: If he doesn't help, his best
friend is headed for jail. So Easy's back, walking the midnight streets
of Watts and the darker, twisted avenues of a cunning killer's mind..
