«Todos muertos» is the crime novel by Chester Himes, published by Punto de Lectura S.L. in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In a violent and absurd Harlem, detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Gravedigger Jones move among killers, prostitutes, corrupt politicians, and racist white police officers. The novel crosses police intrigue with racism and class struggle, in a dry and uncompromising register.
For those interested in crime fiction and police suspense, with a backdrop of social and racial criticism.
Chester Bomar Himes was an American writer.

In 1958, Himes won France's Grand Prix de Littérature Policière.
