It is the Summer of Love as CINNAMON KISS opens and Easy Rawlins is contemplating robbing an armoured car. It's further outside the law than Easy has ever travelled, but his daughter Feather needs a medical treatment that costs far more than Easy can earn or borrow in time. And his friend Mouse tells him it's a cinch. Then another friend, Saul Lynx, offers a job that might solve Easy's problem without jail time. He has to track the disappearance of an eccentric, prominent attorney. His assistant of sorts, the beautiful 'Cinnamon' Cargill, has gone as well. Easy can tell there is much more to the job than he is being told - Robert Lee, his new employer, is as suspect as the man who disappeared. But his need overcomes all concerns and he plunges into unfamiliar territory.
