A bawdy and brazen novel, Cotton Comes to Harlem is a non-stop ride filled with violence, sex, double-crosses, and crime. When thieves steal the proceeds from a preacher's false hope scheme, two detectives are determined to bring back the stolen money, no matter the cost. Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed must navigate a complex web of deceit and corruption in Harlem, where the stakes are high and the body count is rising. With its introduction by Will Self, this book promises an unapologetic and uncompromising look at life in 1970s Harlem. Published in 2021, Cotton Comes to Harlem is a gripping tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
