 ndre Hardy Book Purchase/Seat Reservation A dying gangster's plea sends 
 Joe King Oliver on a quest for a missing woman across America's coasts—u
 nraveling a dark and violent family history along the way. Joe King Oliv
 er is the big man you call to solve the most delicate and dangerous of p
 roblems. Fresh off unraveling the mystery of his own parents’ fates\, Ki
 ng finds himself accepting (again at his grandmother’s request) a case f
 rom Arman Babylon\, a powerful Los Angeles gangster now dying from cance
 r. Babylon’s granddaughter\, Twyla Mann\, has been missing for years\, a
 nd he’s desperate to find her before he passes. The search pulls King in
 to the Babylons’ stained past and the cold case of Dalia Shorts\, a torc
 h singer who vanished without a trace and whom Arman was once suspected 
 of killing. As King follows her trail from L.A. to New York and back\, h
 e’ll realize nothing is what it seems as he uncovers a pattern of violen
 ce that has targeted the women around Babylon for decades. How much will
  King be willing to risk to finally set things right? Walter Mosley is o
