Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)

In the heart of 1948 Los Angeles, Ezikeal "Easy" Rawlins, a resilient African-American World War II veteran, finds himself in the throes of unemployment. A chance encounter at a friend's bar leads him to DeWitt Albright, a mysterious white man on a quest to locate a missing white woman, Daphne Monet. She's not just any woman, but the betrothed of affluent blue blood, Todd Carter, who's standing as a strong contender in the city's mayoral race. Daphne is known for her predilection for the pulsating rhythm of LA's Black jazz clubs, making her disappearance a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Easy, in his innocence, agrees to assist Albright, unaware of the whirlwind he's stepping into. His search for Daphne soon spirals into a labyrinth of murder, double-dealing police, ruthless politicians, and relentless thugs. "Devil in a Blue Dress" echoes the intensity of a classic Chandler-esque mystery, painted with a uniquely African-American hue.
