Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, top Black police detectives, investigate the murder of Valentine Haines, who is found stabbed in a large bread basket

Love and jealousy erupt into violence in The Crazy Kill, a classic thriller in Chester Himes's trailblazing Harlem Detectives series. 
 
One early morning, Reverend Short is watching from his bedroom window as the A&P across the street is robbed. As he tries to see the thief get away, the opium-addicted preacher leans too far and falls out--but he is unscathed, thanks to an enormous bread basket outside the bakery downstairs.  As the crowd gathers to see what happened, a shocking discovery is made: There is another body in the bread basket, and Valentine Haines is dead, really dead. It's up to Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson ti find out who murdered Val.

Recenzijos

[ Himes] put a spin on crime fictionemphasizing urban atmosphere, street smarts and uptown carryings-onunlike anything the genre had previously seen.     The Boston Globe

One of the most important American writers of the 20th century. . . . A quirky American genius.     Walter Mosley

A perverse blend of sordid realism and macabre fantasy-humor.     The New York Times

For sheer toughness its hard to beat the black detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones. Himes never received the recognition he deserved for his booksthey combine elements of George V. Higgins, Elmore Leonard, and Richard Stark, with a bleak vision all their own.     The Washington Post

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 novelsincluding 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.
