Winner of France's prestigious Grand Prix de LitteÌrature PolicieÌre and lauded by Jean Cocteau as a "prodigious masterpiece," A Rage in Harlem introduces detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson in a searing escapade. In The Real Cool Killers, the duo investigates a shooting and discovers an unsettling personal connection. In The Crazy Kill, a man is found in a breadbasket, stabbed to death, leaving Himes's detectives to find out who among the many suspects did it. And in Cotton Comes to Harlem, the brazen robbery of a notorious con man running a back-to-Africa scam sets off a hunt for a bale of Southern cotton. These masterful novels exhibit Himes's evocative, baroque descriptions of Black life in Harlem and his famously blistering social commentary."-- $c from inside dust jacket. 650 0 $a African American police $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American detectives $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Harlem (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Cosby, S.
