In this knockout standalone crime novel from the acclaimed author of the Harlem Detectives series, a white cop's murderous outburst leads to a pulse-pounding chase to silence a witness
A few days after Christmas, a white cop in New York is as drunk as he's ever been. And he's convinced his car has been stolen. He believes the thieves are the Black workers at a luncheonette on 37th and Fifth avenue, and when he staggers in, his .32 caliber goes off. But who would believe it was an accident? Now, two men are dead, and a witness has gotten away.
What follows is a heart-stopping chase of epic proportions. A master of tension and a deft chronicler of racism in post-war America, Himes delivers here one of his most compelling, dramatic novels of suspense.

Autoren-Porträt von Chester Himes
Chester Himes began his writing career while serving in the Ohio State Penitentiary for armed robbery from 1929 to 1936. From his first novel, If He Hollers Let Him Go (1945), Himes dealt with the social and psychological repercussions of being black in a white-dominated society. Beginning in 1953, Himes moved to Europe, where he met and was strongly influenced by Richard Wright. It was in France that he began his best-known series of crime novels-including Cotton Comes to Harlem (1965)-featuring two Harlem policemen. As with Himes's earlier work, the series is characterized by violence and grisly, sardonic humor. He died in Spain in 1984.
