Originally published in 1932, this book is the first known mystery
novel written by an African-American. Rudolph Fisher, one of the
principal writers of the Harlem Renaissance, becomes a
'conjure-man', a fortune teller, a mysterious figure who remains
shrouded in darkness while his clients sit directly across from
him, singly bathed in light. It is in this configuration that one
of these seekers of the revelation of fate discovers he is speaking
to a dead man.
