Cotton Comes to Harlem by Chester Himes

3.0

Inspired by Marcus Garvey, a fresh-out-of prison con artist poses as a minister to start a back-to-Africa scam to rip off poor Black families, to the tune of $87,000. But his money is stolen in broad daylight. Meanwhile there's a colonel from Alabama in Harlem up to no good, and it's up to Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones to get to the bottom of it all.
