Jonathan Nasaw is the acclaimed author of Fear Itself and The Girls He Adored, both Literary Guild Selections. Do not begin this book (Fear Itself) unless you have time to totally immerse yourself. He lives in Pacific Grove, California. I particularly like how Nasaw cleverly weaves a sense of humor (a very risky endeavor, this) into the dark, complex fabric of his characters; be they friend or foe. Keep 'em coming, Mr. Nasaw!

Just as he's celebrating his last day on the job, FBI agent E L Pender receives a letter from Dorie Bell. Dorie is afraid. Last year she attended a convention for Persons with Specific Phobia Disorder. Since then, a couple of the delegates have died in suspicious circumstances. Carl Polander had acrophobia. Fear of heights. So what would he be doing on the 12th floor of the building the police say he jumped from? Mara Agajanian had haemophobia. Fear of blood. So how could she have cut her own wrists in the bathtub? Dorie, who suffers from an irrational fear of masks, wants Pender to look into these cases. She suspects there may be a twisted serial killer on the loose. Someone, who quite literally, enjoys scaring his victims to death. Dorie's right. But she has no idea just how close to her the killer is...

As with Mosley's style, the character you follow may not be just one person. And three characters just might be one person. As usual, Paris, his extraordinary member and Fearless find their way into an adventure that requires thought about the American experience at every turn. Every page is fun, so naturally you want find out what happens on the next one and the next one and the next.

great book! Its as if Jonathan Nasaw lives in the mind of a serial killer. I have enjoyed his books for a few years now. Each one I have read so far has been captivating, this one is no different. I adore Agent Pender and I especially love how descriptive the author is with his killers, I get chills reading.

I'm still waiting for Walter Mosley to turn out a bad book. In this outing (Paris and Fearless's second) Mosley crafts a winding plot that keeps unfolding new surprises until the last few chapters. Paris Minton is an almost unique hero among the genre. He's an unmitigated coward. He's honorable and likeable, but fear often controls his life.
FEAR ITSELF should please Mosley's legions of fans. Even the most ardent Easy fan should appreciate the characters and story here. A few characters from the Easy series make appearances here, or are mentioned.
This wasn't Mosley's best work, but it is still one of the two or three best books I've read this year. I've read Lehane, Connelly, Leonard and more recently, but Mosley is clearly on top of the pile right now. He's on top of his game right now. The other stars of the genre are good, but Mosley is great. Probably the only guy that matches him is George Pelecanos.

I, too, stumbled upon Girls He Adored quite unlike my typical "I know what I'm looking for; I'm not gonna try a risky unknown--" then, looking at the publisher's logo and reading the backjacket, "oookay, mebbe this once..." Girls was exhiliarating! Thus, Ive been waiting for Fear Itself: A Novel like a child waiting to hear reindeer hooves and bells outside on Christmas Eve! omg-- Nasaw did it! Do not begin this book (Fear Itself) unless you have time to totally immerse yourself. I particularly like how Nasaw cleverly weaves a sense of humor (a very risky endeavor, this) into the dark, complex fabric of his characters; be they friend or foe. Keep 'em coming, Mr. Nasaw!

FEAR ITSELF allows you to get into the minds of Paris and Fearless. Paris repeatedly calls himself a coward, but his behavior belies that title. A man is not a hero because he has no fear. A man is a hero because he IS afraid, and he does the right thing anyway. I enjoyed the fact that both Paris and Fearless are fallible. That makes them more realistic to me. As the two follow clues to the fantastic conclusion of the tale, they both have to fight against impulses that tempt them to walk on the bad side.
Excellent book, as usual, Mr. Mosley!

I have never gotten into the Fearless Jones stories. It has always hit me as a "watered-down-Kool Aid" version of Easy Rawlins. This one was one or two clicks better than the first Fearless Jones novel but not much. This was little more than a fire drill in a chicken pen... a lot squawking and flapping and running in circles but not much getting done.

If you wish to do a true contrast/comparison read "Little Scarlet". The setting of both books is the same historical period where Paris Minton even makes a cameo appearance... it is obvious what I am talking about.

Walter Mosley is a masterful writer and a national treasure. In reading his works you get a great mystery and woven into the story is an excellent view of black life in LA in the 40s. I cannot wait to read the next books on Fearless Jones, Easy Rawlins and Leonid McGill.
