The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead

This speculative mystery features all the classics of noir: an arranged accident, a scapegoat, elevator inspectors. Er, maybe that last bit is more unusual. Whitehead’s excellent detective novel, set during an alternative version of the Harlem Renaissance, investigates race and society as well as being a terribly good story. Library catalog link.
