Charcoal Joe - Walter Mosley (2016) Little Brown 

Mouse brings a job to Easy Rawlins; Joe needs his son, who has been framed by the cops, cleared of murder charges.  Easy is planning on proposing to his love, but that turns out to not be possible.  The boy in question turns out to be a Phd in Physics and likely an innocent bystander in un-innocent murder, theft and triple-crosses.  Fearless Jones covers Easy's rear. Lots of bad guys get their final ticket punched, and one gets a angelic gift when Easy returns her unconscious body to her home.
