Order of Walter Mosley Books
Walter Mosley is an American novelist of crime fiction and historical mystery novels. He is best known for his hardboiled detective series featuring Easy Rawlins. Mosley’s father was an African-American clerk in the U.S. Army and his mother was a personnel clerk of Russian-Jewish descent. As an only child, he used his imagination to fill the void that he would later be able to hone into his fiction career. His inspirations include Dashiell Hammett, Graham Greene and Raymond Chandler. In 1992, presidential candidate Bill Clinton named him as one of his favourite authors.
Walter Mosley became a published author at the ripe age of 34, but hasn’t stopped writing since. His first novel was Devil in a Blue Dress, published in 1990. Below is a list of Walter Mosley’s books in order of when they were originally released:
