<<Thanks for the recommendation, Mario. I haven't heard
of this one. After reading others' posts, I take it that
Coffin Ed and Grave Digger make up about a 7-book
series.>>
Yes, and I think they're all in print, or were recently in
print.
<<The only other Himes's I've heard of is _The Real
Cool Killers_. I guess he's also written an auto-
biography.>>
He wrote a lot, more than twenty books in all. They're all
interesting. He was a man of experience.
<<If I recall correctly, he had a rough
life.>>
Yes, he was in prison and started writing and publishing
while there. His collected short stories have some material
from that period, tough stories about poverty, crime and
jail.
Regards,
MrT
