Description
A rollercoaster of a crime novel, Himes' effervescent caper sees two detectives engage in a fast-paced attempt to retrieve the money stolen from the good people of Harlem by a ruthless conman.
A con-man is swindling the poor folk of Harlem out of their life savings - and now all hell's broken loose.
The 'Reverend' Deke O'Malley has just made $87,000 by duping his followers, only for white gunmen to hijack the rally and escape with the cash hidden inside a bale of cotton.
Now ace detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson must get the good people of Harlem their money back by any means necessary, in a raucous, breakneck adventure involving double-crosses, exotic dancers, a racist colonel and a whole pile of bodies.
