New York: Dell, 1966. First paperback edition. Paperback. Good +. Binding tight, with very slight spine lean and a ghost of a reading crease. Diagonal crease to upper right corner of front cover and first few pages. Small tear to meeting of top of spine and back cover. Otherwise clean and unmarked. Dell # 1513. Reprint of the 1965 Putnam edition, which was in turn a reprint of the original French edition, Retour En Afrique.

A high water mark in the history of African-American crime fiction.

Description:
New York: Dell, 1966. 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 6x4x0. First printing. Spine creased, edge wear. 1966 Mass Market Paperback. 223 pp. Flim-flam man Deke O’Hara is no sooner out of Atlanta’s state penitentiary than he’s back on the streets working a big scam. As sponsor of the Back-to-Africa movement, he’s counting on a big Harlem rally to produce a massive collection—for his own private charity. But the take is hijacked by white gunmen and hidden in a bale of cotton that suddenly everyone wants to get his hands on. As NYPD detectives “Coffin Ed” Johnson and “Grave Digger” Jones face the complexity of the scheme, we are treated to Himes’s brand of hard-boiled crime fiction at its very best.
