A Rage in Harlem
Chester Himes
Mystery & Suspense
James Mustich
Aug 1, 2018
A Rage in Harlem is the first in Chester Himes’s cycle of eight Harlem detective novels (nine if you count Plan B, unfinished at the time of his death), and it introduces the two cops—Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson—whose presence ties the books together, even if the duo plays a somewhat peripheral role here. The action of A Rage in Harlem centers on counterfeiting, theft, and confidence games, with all three types of deception applied equally to both love and money by characters hapless and savvy, seductive and scheming, helpless and swindling.
