SundayA NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER: a powerful and
hugely-entertaining novel that summons 1970s New York in all its
seedy glory. 1971, New York City. Trash piles up on the streets,
crime is at an all-time high, the city is going bankrupt, and a
shooting war has broken out between the NYPD and the Black
Liberation Army.Furniture store owner and ex-fence Ray Carney is
trying to keep his head down, his business up and his life
straight. But then he needs Jackson 5 tickets for his daughter May
and he decides to hit up an old police contact, who wants favours
in return. For Ray, staying out of the game gets a lot more
complicated - and deadly.1973. The old ways are being overthrown by
the thriving counterculture, but Pepper, Carney's enduringly
violent partner in crime, is a constant. In these difficult times,
Pepper takes on a side gig doing security on a Blaxploitation shoot
in Harlem, finding himself in a world of Hollywood stars and
celebrity drug dealers, in addition to the usual cast of hustlers,
mobsters and hit men.These adversaries underestimate the seasoned
crook - to their regret. 1976. Harlem is burning, while the country
gears up for the Bicentennial.Carney is trying to come up with a
celebratory July 4th advertisement he can actually live with, while
his wife Elizabeth is campaigning for her childhood friend, rising
politician Alexander Oakes. When a fire seriously injures one of
Carney's tenants, he enlists Pepper to look into who may be behind
it, navigating a crumbling metropolis run by the shady, the violent
and the utterly corrupt. 'Fast, fun, ribald...with a touch of
Quentin Tarantino' Sunday Times'A delight' Financial Times'Hugely
enticing' Independent
