About this listen
Ex-boxer, hard drinker, in a business that trades mostly in cash and favors: McGill's an old-school P.I. working a city that's gotten fancy all around him. Fancy or not, he has always managed to get by - keep a roof over the head of his wife and kids, and still manage a little fun on the side - mostly because he's never been above taking a shady job for a quick buck. But like the city itself, McGill is turning over a new leaf, "decided to go from crooked to slightly bent."
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.

Mosley at his best
Compelling interwoven threads of stories coming together around LT. All the characters are very fully developed and when he goes down at tangent to fill in depth of a character you’re never sorry you heard it. The description of the inner workings of the main character are so solid and well described that sometimes it feels like you’re in his shoes. Super listening to this book.

An enjoyable listen
This was a great read. I love the Easy Rawlins series more (perhaps because it is set further in the past) but this is an entertaining read and I would recommend it. Plot is decent, characters are well formed. Also, the narrator is very skilful at his job!

Kept me riveted!
Brilliant author, terrific narrator, and an intriguing array of characters. I love how Mosley spices up the narrative with little splashes of back story and how he succeeds in consistently evoking the spirit of place and time relevant to the story.
A nod of gratitude to the Graham Norton Book Club for reminding me what a wonderful writer Mosley is.
