Descriere magazin:
A one-volume selection of four novels in a legendary detective series--blistering, groundbreaking capers set in Harlem\'s criminal underworld--by master crime writer Chester Himes A friend and contemporary of Richard Wright and James Baldwin--and every bit their equal--Chester Himes is the acclaimed author of literary novels, stories, and essays, as well as the classic crime fiction series for which he is best known, featuring detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones. Himes authored nine novels in the Harlem Detectives series, and in these four popular, accomplished installments, his cold, wisecracking sleuths are thrown into a brutal, murderous world, full of conniving con men, gun-toting gangsters, and opium-smoking preachers. Himes\'s vision of Harlem\'s criminal underground is both riotous entertainment, enriched by his deftly plotted mysteries and scintillating dialogue, and a penetrating look into the fraught tensions of race in postwar America. Everyman\'s Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author\'s life and times.

Cosby, from his Introduction Here in one volume is an exceptional selection from Chester Himes\'s acclaimed Harlem Detectives series. Winner of France\'s prestigious Grand Prix de Littérature Policière and lauded by Jean Cocteau as a prodigious masterp
