Chester Himes

Chester Himes was a groundbreaking American novelist who spent much of his life in Europe, particularly France. He is best known for his Harlem Detective series featuring Coffin Ed Johnson and Grave Digger Jones, which combined crime fiction with searing social commentary on race in America. A Case of Rape is a powerful, provocative novel that examines racism and the criminal justice system. Himes's audiobooks offer listeners brilliant, unflinching crime fiction and social criticism from one of the most important African American writers of the twentieth century.
