I enjoyed Fear Itself by Walter Moseley and spending more time with Paris and Fearless and their friends and enemies. I felt a little lost as the con game revealed itself but I was discovering it along with our heroes.

But Paris and Fearless have carved out a place for themselves and can even use the police to their own advantage now and then. Looking forward to the third book in the series.… (mehr)

I liked this one even better than its predecessor, Down the River Unto the Sea. Sharp, biting, racially charged, and twisty plot. Definitely a series to keep reading.
