Detectives Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones have lost two criminals. Pinky ran off - but it shouldn"t be hard to track down a giant albino in Harlem. Jake the dwarf drug dealer, though, isn"t coming back - he died after Grave Digger punched him in the stomach. And the dwarf"s death might cost them both their badges. Unless they can track down the cause of all this mayhem - like the African with his throat slit and the dog the size of a lion with an open head wound. Chester Himes" hardboiled tales of Harlem have a barely contained chaos and a visceral, macabre edge all their own. With a new Introduction by Noel "Razor" Smith.
