FEATURED
REVIEW

COOL MACHINE by Colson Whitehead

1981. In Harlem, Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture’s Dealer of the Month. But when the banks won’t give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, Carney gambles on one last heist. 1983. To some, Carney’s friend and partner in crime, Pepper, is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he’s feeling his age in his troubled gut and aching bones. 1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin, Freddie. Now, 20 years after Freddie’s death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie’s son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he’s spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
