A friend and contemporary of Richard Wright and James Baldwin - and every bit their equal - Chester Himes was 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 Gravedigger Jones. Himes wrote nine novels in the Harlem Detectives series, and in these four popular, accomplished instalments, his cold, wise-cracking sleuths are thrown into a brutal, murderous world peopled with conniving con men, gut-toting gangsters and opium-smoking preachers. Himes's vision of Harlem's criminal underground, enriched by deft plotting and scintillating dialogue, is both riotous entertainment and penetrating enquiry into the fraught tensions of race in postwar America.

Musulmans Fumants» ne vénerent pas La Mecque, mais la marijuana. Sonny, qui tirait a bout portant sur le consommateur blanc, n'était pas un assassin et le vitrioleur avait lancé a la figure de sa victime non pas de l'acide sulfurique mais du parfum d'oillet. Va donc y comprendre quelque chose ! Pourtant ils avaient tous du souci - les coupables, les suspects, les innocents et les flics - et chacun pouvait prendre a son compte les paroles de la chanson : «Si les coups durs, c'était du fric, il y a longtemps que je s'rais millionnaire.
