The winners of the 41st annual NAACP Image Awards, announced Friday, February 26 include, in the category, Literary work, fiction, The Long Fall by Walter Mosley. Find this book in our catalog

This is what it says about The Long Fall in the publisher's description available through our catalog: "New York City in the twenty-first century is a city full of secrets - and still a place that reacts when you know where to poke and which string to pull. That's exactly the kind of thing Leonid McGill knows how to do. As soon as The Long Fall begins, with McGill calling in old markers and greasing NYPD palms to unearth some seemingly harmless information for a high-paying client, he learns that even in this cleaned-up city, his commitment to the straight and narrow is going to be constantly tested."
