The Real Cool Killers

A Grave Digger & Coffin Ed Novel

To detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, it looked like an open and shut case. After all, Sonny Pickens was still standing over the body of Ulysses Galen, smoking gun hanging from his hand. Only one problem: Sonny's gun was loaded with blanks.

There were plenty of people who wanted Galen dead, but who was responsible? Sonny? A jealous husband? Or one of the street toughs from a gang calling themselves the Real Cool Moslems? Coffin Ed and Grave Digger pound the mean streets of 1950s Harlem in search of the Real Cool Killer.

Great Story!!!!

I love this story Coffin Ed and Grave digger are very good at what they do!

It's what I expected from Chester Himes

Himes' novels are gritty yet simple and captures the essence of Harlem. 👮🏾🌆🔫
Narration was cool!

One of my favorites

I really liked this book along with the narrator. Chester Himes was a great story teller. I plan to read the rest of this series.

SUPERB NARRATOR!

Gritty story with many interesting characters! The narrator did a marvelous job capturing the accents and speech rhythms. Will listen again!

The Mystery

I disliked when Coffin Ed was suspended! The tandem of Grave Digger and Coffin Ed working together to solve crimes is the only reason I buy the books.
