Produktbeschreibung

A 50th-anniversary edition of the pioneering novel featuring African American police detective Virgil Tibbs "They call me Mr. Tibbs" was the line immortalized by Sidney Poitier in the 1967 Oscar-winning movie adaptation. Now fans of classic crime can rediscover this suspense-filled novel whose hero paved the way for James Patterson´s Alex Cross, George Pelecanos´s Derek Strange, and other African American detectives. A small southern town in the 1960s. A musician found dead on the highway. It´s no surprise when white detectives arrest a black man for the murder. What is a surprise is that the black man-Virgil Tibbs-is a skilled homicide detective, passing through racially tense Wells, South Carolina, on his way back to California. Even more surprising, Wells´s new police chief recruits Tibbs to help with the investigation. But Tibbs´s presence in town rubs some of the locals the wrong way, and it won´t be long before the martial arts-trained detective has to fight not just for justice, but also for his own safety.
