Harlem shuffle
(Audiobook)

Compact discs.

Read by Dion Graham.

To his customers and neighbors 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 normalcy has more than a few cracks in it. When his cousin Freddie falls in with a crew who plan to rob the Hotel Theresa--the "Waldorf of Harlem"--he volunteers Ray's services as the fence. The heist doesn't go as planned, which brings Ray a new clientele, one made up of shady cops, vicious local gangsters, two-bit pornographers, and other assorted Harlem lowlifes. Thus begins the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook.
