Devil in a Blue Dress is a 1990 hardboiled mystery novel by Walter Mosley, the first of his mystery novels featuring Easy Rawlins, a black private detective in post-World War II Southern California. The novel addresses issues of race and gender, as well as the post-war condition of black Americans. The plot follows Rawlins as he has been hired to find a woman who is involved in a brewing political scandal.
The book was adapted into a 1995 film of the same name, which starred Denzel Washington as Rawlins, and also featured Jennifer Beals, Tom Sizemore, Maury Chaykin, and Don Cheadle as the unhinged "Mouse".
