The Real Cool Killers Chester Himes

The night's over for Ulysses Galen. It started going bad for the big Greek when a knife was drawn, then there was an axe, then he was being chased and shot at. Now Galen is lying dead in the middle of a Harlem street but the night's just beginning for detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson because they have a smoking gun but it couldn't have killed Galen, and they had a suspect but a gang called the Real Cool Moslems took him. And as patrol cars and search teams descend on the neighbourhood, their case threatens to take a turn for the personal. "The Real Cool Killers" is loaded with grizzly comedy and with all the raucous, threatening energy of the streets it's set on.
