Come Back, Charleston Blue 51 years old

A ghost has come back to Harlem--and started the wildest gang war ever.

Come Back, Charleston Blue

Sequel to Cotton comes to Harlem. Another bad influence is hitting Harlem and Gravedigger and Coffin Ed are the two cops who will stop it. Charleston Blue was a prohibition era black gangster, dead 4 decades. When he seems to have reappeared, once again slitting throats with his Blue straight edge razors, the two cops begin a complicated search for some answers.
