Two books about the owner of a Harlem furniture store, circa 1960-1980.

The hero is a member of the community who wants to do right, respect the law and his neighbors.

So, every once in a while he has to fence some stolen jewelry or help a crooked cop rob some numbers spots, but basically he's almost 100% honest.
