'The toughest crime stories in print' Sunday TimesThe night's over for Ulysses Galen.

It started going bad for the big Greek when a knife was drawn, then there was an axe, then he was being chased and shot at.

Now Galen is lying dead in the middle of a Harlem street.

But the night's just beginning for detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson.

Because they have a smoking gun but it couldn't have killed Galen, and they had a suspect but a gang called the Real Cool Moslems took him.

And as patrol cars and search teams descend on the neighbourhood, their case threatens to take a turn for the personal.

The Real Cool Killers is loaded with grizzly comedy and with all the raucous, threatening energy of the streets it's set on.
