Based on the Walter Mosley novel, Little Scarlet takes place in L.A. right after the 1965 Watts riots. White cops, afraid to poke into the murder of a black woman when the suspect is a white man she sheltered, draft Rawlins to investigate. This sees the characters of Easy Rawlins and Mouse -- the roles originated by Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle, respectively, in Carl Franklin's 1995 film Devil in a Blue Dress.
