    This week, we're talking jewelry heists. Which notorious thieves were caught by police, and which got away? Alexis has the answers. Then, it's on to our book.

     

    Orphaned in high school, Ray Carney worked through college and now owns his own furniture store in 1960s Harlem. He's a family man living the American dream, but some dreams are no different from nightmares. Fighting familial and internal influences, Carney must outlast three separate heists to secure the lives of those he loves most. Will he survive? Or will this man lose himself trying to find his dream?

    The book is Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead.
