Description
A gritty and unapologetic novel from Chester B. Himes, Cotton Comes to Harlem is a wild ride through the streets of Harlem in 1940s America. When thieves steal a large sum of money from a preacher's scheme, two detectives are tasked with retrieving it, no matter the cost. As Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed navigate the mean streets of Harlem, they encounter a world of violence, sex, and double-crosses. With its non-stop action and tough-talking characters, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of hard-boiled detective fiction. With an introduction by Will Self, Cotton Comes to Harlem offers a unique glimpse into the gritty world of 1940s Harlem, where nothing is as it seems and everyone has a secret to hide.
