What is The Heat's On (Harlem Cycle, #6) about?

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.ReviewHe belongs with those great demented realists ... whose writing pitilessly exposes the ridiculousness of the human condition ReviewThe greatest find in American crime fiction since Raymond Chandler Sunday Times Outrageous, shocking, wonderful New York Times Book Review Himes wrote spectacularly successful entertainments, filled with gems of descriptive writing, plots that barely sidestep chaos, characters surreal, grotesque, comic, hip, Harlem recollected as a place that can make you laugh, cry, shudder. -- John Edgar Wideman Chester Himes is one of the towering figures of the black literary tradition.
