Description of Shades of Black: Crime and Mystery Stories by African-American Authors by Eleanor Taylor Bland


A dazzling collection of crime and mystery stories, Shades of Black is a landmark achievement. Bringing together today’s brightest talent from the field-from Walter Mosley, "one of America’s best mystery writers" (New York Times), to the late Hugh Holton, whose "gift for retaining suspense is golden" (Chicago Sun-Times)-it is the first anthology of African-American mystery writers. Shades of Black is not only a tribute to the art of storytelling-it’s a fascinating foray into the rich and widely varied African-American experience.Includes stories by:Frankie Y.
