A Novel of the 87th Precinct
by Ed McBain
Ed McBain's latest installment in the 87th Precinct
series finds the detectives stumped by a serial killer who doesn't fit the
profile. A blind violinist taking a smoke break, a cosmetics sales rep cooking
an omelet in her own kitchen, a college professor trudging home from class, a
priest contemplating retirement in the rectory garden, an old woman out
walking her dog--these are the seemingly random targets shot twice in the
face....
'McBain just keeps getting better and better. This one will have
readers waking in the middle of the night wondering if they, too, have killers
inside themselves.' - Booklist.
'While McBain siphons off some suspense by making the reader privy to the
killer's actions, and his trademark dialogue isn't as crisp as usual, he still
delivers dependable entertainment.' - PW.
Comment: Published posthumously following McBain's recent death.
