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
