Description
Ray Carney's life is a carefully constructed façade. As a salesman of reasonably priced furniture, he makes a decent living for himself and his family. However, few people know that he descends from a line of uptown hoods and crooks, and that his normalcy is more of a myth than a reality. When his cousin Freddie gets involved with a crew planning to rob the Hotel Theresa, Ray is drawn into a world of shady characters and double lives. As Ray navigates this treacherous landscape, he finds himself torn between his desire to fit in and his need to maintain a sense of self. With a new clientele of Harlem's most unsavory characters, Ray must confront the darker side of his own nature and the true power dynamics at play in the city. A gripping and entertaining novel, Harlem Shuffle is a thrilling tale of crime, power, and the complexities of human nature.
