Description
A Rage in Harlem by Chester B. Himes is a gripping tale of crime and deception.
When a clever scheme to make money goes awry, Jackson finds himself broke, wanted by the police, and racing against time to recover his lost funds and loved one, Imabelle.
This hard-hitting novel introduces readers to Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, two hard-boiled detectives who navigate a world of brutal humour, lurid violence, and gold heists. With an Introduction by Luc Sante, this Penguin Classics edition offers a fresh perspective on a classic story.
