Happy Birthday, Walter Mosley! May your day be as intriguing and captivating as an Easy Rawlins mystery. You've given us unforgettable characters, gripping plots, and a timeless detective whose adventures keep readers turning pages late into the night. And let's not forget—your brilliant storytelling even brought Denzel Washington to life on screen in "Devil in a Blue Dress." Talk about setting the bar high!

Here's wishing you another year filled with suspenseful twists (but only good ones!), plenty of laughter between chapters, and continued success that rivals Easy's knack for solving mysteries. Keep writing those masterpieces—we're hooked!
