HARLEM SHUFFLE - COLSON WHITEHEAD KARTONIERT (TB)

'An American master' New York Times Book Review To his customers and neighbours on 125th street
Ray Carney is an upstanding salesman of reasonably priced furniture  making a decent life for
himself and his family. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks  and
that his façade of normality has more than a few cracks in it. Cash is tight  especially with
all those installment-plan sofas  so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring
or necklace  Ray doesn't ask where it comes from. Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to
rob the Hotel Theresa - the 'Waldorf of Harlem' - and volunteers Ray's services as the fence.
Can Ray avoid getting killed  save his cousin and grab his share of the big score  all while
maintaining his reputation as the go-to source for all your quality home furniture needs? 'A
spectacularly pleasurable read  and while it is  of course  literary  it's also a pure 
unapologetic crime-fiction page-turner' Los Angeles Times
