The Heat's On

A Grave Digger & Coffin Ed Novel

De: Chester Himes

Narrado por: Dion Graham

From the start, nothing goes fright for Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones. They are disciplined for use of excessive force. Grave Digger is shot and his death announced in a hoax radio bulletin. Bodies pile up faster than Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones can run. Yet, try as they might, they always seem to be one hot step behind the cause of all the mayhem: three million dollars' worth of heroine and a simple albino called Pinky.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Chester Himes is one of the towering figures of the black literary tradition. His command of nuances of character and dynamics of plot is preeminent among writers of crime fiction. He is a master craftsman." (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.)

"Chester Himes is the great lost crime writer, as well a great American dissident novelist per se, and an essential witness to his times. Every one of his beyond-cool Harlem novels is cherished by every reader who finds it." (Jonathan Lethem)

"Hieronymus Bosch meets Miles Davis." ( The New York Times)

The twist!!!!

The suspense of whom killed whom and why. Dion Graham is an excellent story teller.

Loved it!

I loved that I couldn't figure out what was going on until the end. I hate when I read a book and can figure out whodonit within the first 4 or 5 chapters.
