Here’s a great list of African-American mystery writers from the Los Angeles Public Library.

Chester B. Himes (1909-1984), author of the best-selling novel If He Hollers Let Him Go, was the twentieth century’s most prolific black writer. He is best known for his hard-boiled detective stories including Cotton Comes to Harlem, featuring black New York City police detectives Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson.

A film was made of Cotton Comes to Harlem. Himes began writing while incarcerated for seven years in the Ohio State Penitentiary starting at the age of 19. He lived abroad first in Paris and then in Moraira, Spain. Chester B. Himes: a Biography by Lawrence P. Jackson was just published in 2017.
