Mosley's debut novel Devil in a Blue Dress is a great example of getting right into the story. Despite the fact that there is a certain amount of backstory to be revealed - Easy Rawlins is a war veteran who has just lost his job and is worried about paying the mortgage on his beloved house - pretty much the first thing that happens is that Dewitt Albright walks into the bar Rawlins is drinking in and presents him with an offer that will change his life and launch him into a career as a P.I.
This is a very welcome addition to MasterClass and I look forward to taking his class.
