The Heat's on
Autor Chester B. Himesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 1988
From the start, nothing goes right for Coffin Ed and Grave Digger. They are disciplined for use of excessive force. Grave Digger is shot and his death announced in a hoax radio bulletin. Bodies pile up faster than Coffin Ed and Grave Digger can run. Yet, try as they might, they always seem to be one hot step behind the cause of all the mayhem—three million dollars’ worth of heroin and a giant albino called Pinky.

Descriere
From the start nothing goes right for Coffin Ed and Grave Digger Jones. Dead bodies are piling up faster than they can run, and Coffin Ed and Grave Digger seem to always be one step behind the cause of all the mayhem--$3 million worth of heroin and a simple albino called Pinky.
