Order of Walter Mosley Books

Walter Mosley is an American author known for his crime fiction and historical mystery novels. He gained prominence through his hardboiled detective series featuring Easy Rawlins. Mosley's father served as a clerk in the U.S. Army, while his mother was a personnel clerk of Russian-Jewish heritage. As an only child, he relied on his imagination to fill the emptiness, which later became a foundation for his writing career. Influenced by writers like Dashiell Hammett, Graham Greene, and Raymond Chandler, Mosley was recognized by presidential candidate Bill Clinton in 1992 as one of his favorite authors. He published his first novel, Devil in a Blue Dress, in 1990 at the age of 34 and has continued to write ever since. Below is a list of Walter Mosley’s books in the order of their original release:
