Two-time Pulitzer winner Colson Whitehead returns with his latest novel, "Crook Manifesto." Set in 1970s Harlem, the story spans several years and centers on Carney, a furniture store owner who was formerly involved in some less-than-legal things but is now trying to stay on the right side of the law. When he contacts someone from his old life in hopes of getting concert tickets for his beloved daughter, he gets pulled back into a web of favors and struggles. Over the next several years, his life and the lives of those in his orbit get even more complicated against the backdrop of counterculture, corrupt city officials, and both the vibrant and the dark sides of Harlem.
