Plan B is an unfinished novel by Chester Himes (1909–1984), begun in 1967 or 1968, that was completed from his notes by Michel Fabre and Robert E. Skinner. It was published posthumously in America in 1993 by the University Press of Mississippi, edited and with an Introduction by Fabre and Skinner, as the final volume in the Harlem Detective series of novels by Himes. The story is even darker and more nihilistic than the preceding volumes in the cycle, culminating in a violent revolutionary movement in the streets of America. According to The Washington Post review, "As it stands, beneath the humor 'Plan B' is an honest, uncompromising look at race and race relations, as meaningful today as the day it was written."
