Rose Yellow metal is two colours, one girl, and a big headache.

With this new mystery set in the Patty Hearst era of radical black nationalism and political abductions, a black ex-boxer self-named Uhuru Nolica, the leader of a revolutionary cell called Scorched Earth, has kidnapped Rosemary Goldsmith, the daughter of the weapons manufacturer, from her dorm at UC Santa Barbara. If indeed they don’t have the money, weaponry, and apology they demand, ‘Rose Platinum’ will die-horribly and publicly. So the FBI, the State Department, and the LAPD turn to Easy Rawlins, the one man who are able to cross the required borders to resolve this dangerous standoff. With twelve earlier activities since 1990, Easy Rawlins is one of the small handful of personal eyes in contemporary criminal offense fiction who can be called immortal. Rose Gold proceeds his ongoing and exclusive achievement in merging the secret/PI genre type with a wealthy social background of postwar Los Angeles-and not only the black parts of that sprawling town.
