Sarjan 3. osa. ( )

Maybe one shouldn't read too many of these in a row. I found myself getting a little tired at this point with Easy's angst, his reluctance to work for the white man and the cops (in this case helping to solve the murders of young girls, but of course the cops only turn to him when a white girl is murdered, not having bothered too much when it was three/four black girls), and his secretive life. Things are a little more complicated in Easy's life because he is married with a child, and young mute boy that he adopted, but he doesn't even tell his wife about his real life and the money that he has from his real estate holdings. In the end she leaves him, taking the daughter. Easy seems to lead the cops to a black man who probably was the murderer of the black girls, and he is gunned down in staged incident of police vigilantism. But this guy could not have killed the white girl, the daughter of county prosecutor, and there is a twist at the end when Easy realizes just who that murderer must have been.
