Recommended by The American Scholar. Black doctor/author who was the leading light among Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, etc., Fisher died in his 30's. This is considered the first mystery set in a Black community. Solid start . . . mysterious death of Conjure Man, fortune teller.

Agatha Christie type novel set in Harlem. Our dead conjure-man isn't dead after all. he was in a trance of sorts and comes back to life. The question remains -- who "killed" him. All participants will be reassembled with the conjure-man and the detective both using their own special abilities. Uneven. . . Some scenes terrific, others a bit of a yawn.
