Welcome back to the Hardboiled Road, Cromrades! Our path takes us to Harlem, where a smooth talking con man's operations are being foiled all around him, and Coffin Ed and Gravedigger Jones seek to return the swindled money to the families it was stolen from. It's Cotton Comes to Harlem, a novel by Chester Himes! We dig in to the first half of the book this week, and talk about Himes, his life, and his take on the detective genre. Join us!
One ThingsJon: Dark Horse's Avatar: The Last AirbenderJosh: A first time watch of a cult classic show, Freaks and Geeks. Luke: The fantasy works of Tanith Lee.
Next time: We return to Harlem to see if Coffin Ed and Gravedigger crack the case, and some skulls along the way.
