Chester Himes (Jefferson City, 1909 ? Moraira, Alicante, 1984) es un novelista estadounidense especialmente reconocido por su obra de género policiaco. Su infancia estuvo marcada por los prejuicios raciales y por los constantes traslados de su familia, lo que le llevó a desarrollar un carácter rebelde y a protagonizar graves acciones delictivas. Con solo diecinueve años, fue condenado a prisión por atraco a mano armada. En su celda, inspirado por la obra de Dashiell Hammett, comenzó a escribir relatos cortos y a publicarlos en revistas especializadas. RBA ha publicado tres de sus novelas más conocidas: Algodón en Harlem, Empieza el calor y Un ciego con una pistola.

Efectivamente, la lógica y la perspicacia de Himes son en ella aterradoras, y el resultado es una historia furiosa y violenta, una auténtic...
