The title pretty much dictates the premise
And off the top I got three series
Easy Rawlings: Walter Mosley
Devil in a blue dress was a great movie.... And there was a Hollywood rumor that Jeffrey Wright and Mos Def were on board as easy and mouse.... But for the uninitiated.... This is about a dude from Texas who moved to LA after the war and due to his connections to the black community ended up as a private detective in a very highly racially charged environment...
The books covered the 60's and 70's and really has some great action and awesome characters. They got over 10 books
Tamara Hayle : Valerie Wilson Wesley
Another private detective.... And honestly all these are private detective series....I mostly read that genre.... And full disclosure... Tamara is a HORRIBLE detective..... Like she's just not good at her job. She has horrible intuition. And she almost gets herself killed 90% of the time from shit the reader sees coming a mile a way..... But if them books ain't good as fuck!!!
Bruh....I can easily see Tiffany Haddish in this role. I know people don't like her, but she fits this character perfectly. Haddish is a comedian that mad people don't feel is a good comedian. Tamara Hayle is a private detective who is not a good detective and always fucking shit up.....I think it would be awesome. I think this is a 7 or 8 book series
Leorand McGill: Walter Mosley
The reason I made this thread. I just finished the the latest book in this series and it legit feels like I just came from the theater after watching a good ass movie. This is a modern day easy for the most part.... And even though Leonard is described as ugly... The cover art favors Idris Elba and I could not get Idris out of my mind as this character....
He's an exboxer ex-criminal who became a private detective off of favors and manipulating the criminal and legal world. He has a young son who understand capitolism, his father's lifestyle and is pretty much already a criminal mastermind in his own regards but Leonard keeps him close to him with "honest" work because he knows his boy is a magnet for trouble regardless of he approves or not... It just makes sense to teach him, cuz he is the best teacher for this kind of shit.....
He's also best friends with a John wick your type nigga named hush... Great fucking series. Prolly like 5 books I think
I've read Lot of shit, but those three series stood out to me
