The Detective Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson Harlem crime novels are originals with few precedents. Chester Himes published many of them as paperback originals in this country.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - IT BEGAN WITH A DREAM. A dream about pies exploding with 100 dollar bills. The dreamer had faith. she believed it was a message from the Lord himself. So the dreamer went and played all she had on money row in the three biggest houses in Harlem. The number popped out like it was sent for. It was a hit for $36,000. Trouble was she tried to keep a secret. She hid the money. But nobody can keep money like that a secret. Not in Harlem. Before the loot even had time to settle in its hiding place every con artist, punk and pusher in the neighborhood was making plans to get it. When someone did find it, he was dead before he could count it. The killer had no luck either. Someone with a knife was waiting for him. But the money had disappeared. The hunt was on again, and the smell of fresh violence filled the air. Detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson know they had to move fast -- before murder became an epidemic.
