MATTHEW HENSON AND THE ICE TEMPLE OF HARLEM is the first in a new series, set during the Harlem Renaissance, this re-imagined pulp novel follows Matthew Henson (a real life Arctic explorer, one of the first to reach the North Pole), interpreted here as an adventurer in the Doc Savage/Indiana Jones style. Henson's daring exploits put him on a path riddled with gangsters like Queenie St. Clair and Dutch Shultz, who is looking to muscle-in on the black-run numbers racket, as well as the first black female aviatrix Bessie Coleman, Nikola Tesla and others for a rollicking and retro reading adventure.
