A Rage in Harlem is a ripping introduction to Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, patrolling New York City'€™s roughest streets in Chester Himes'€™s groundbreaking Harlem Detectives series. For love of fine, wily Imabelle, hapless Jackson surrenders his life savings to a con man who knows the secret of turning ten-dollar bills into hundreds'€”and then he steals from his boss, only to lose the stolen money at a craps table. Luckily for him, he can turn to his savvy twin brother, Goldy, who earns a living'€”disguised as a Sister of Mercy'€”by selling tickets to Heaven in Harlem. With Goldy on his side, Jackson is ready for payback. From the Trade Paperback edition.
