NEW YORK (AP) — Call him the Cedric the Novelist. Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, announced Wednesday that it will publish a novel in September by Cedric the Entertainer.

"Flipping Boxcars," billed as a "valentine" to 1940s crime fiction, is scheduled for Sept. 12.

"Flipping Boxcars is an homage to my grandfather, who I never met, but I've been told I am a lot like," Cedric the Entertainer, who stars in the CBS-TV comedy "The Neighborhood" and has appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, said in a statement.
