Для своих клиентов и соседей по 125-й улице Карни - добропорядочный продавец мебели по разумным ценам, зарабатывающий на жизнь себе и своей семье. Он и его жена Элизабет ждут второго ребенка, и если ее родители на Страйверз-роу не одобряют ни его, ни их тесную квартирку напротив путей метро, это все равно дом • Мало кто знает, что он происходит из рода городских хулиганов и жуликов, и что в его представлении о нормальности есть немало трещин. Трещин, которые с каждым разом становятся все больше и больше • В основе романа Уайтхеда Колсона "Harlem Shuffle" лежит гениально запутанный сюжет, действие которого разворачивается в прекрасно воссозданном Гарлеме начала 1960-х годов. Это семейная сага, маскирующаяся под криминальный роман, веселую пьесу о морали, социальный роман о расе и власти и, в конечном счете, любовное письмо в Гарлем
