Joe King Oliver´s beloved Grandma B has found a tumor, and at her age, treatment is high-risk. She´s lived life fully and without regrets, and now has only a single, dying wish: to see her long-lost son. King has been estranged from his father, Chief Odin Oliver, since he was a young boy. He swore to never speak to the man again when he was taken away in handcuffs. But now, Grandma B´s pure ask has opened King´s heart, and through his hunt, he gains a deeper understanding of his father as a complicated, righteous man-a man defined by women, a man protected by women, a man he wants to know. Although Chief was released from prison years ago, he´s been living underground ever since. Now, King must not only find his father, but prove his innocence, and protect the future of his entire family.
Simultaneously, King finds himself in a moral bind. Marigold Hart, the wife of a powerful Californian billionaire, has gone missing, along with their seven-year-old daughter. Orr is brutish and dangerous, and King realizes after locating her that it´s in her best interest to stay hidden. But are his motives pure? There is something magnetic about Marigold; he can´t help but want her near.
In the latest installment in the Joe King Oliver series, no good deed goes unpunished. Emotionally stirring, pulse-pounding, and undeniably sexy, Been Wrong So Long It Feels Like Right shows Walter Mosley at his best.
