Synopsis

The victim had a knife in her chest, and the husband didn't even try to disguise the fact that he was glad. From the very beginning, Detective Steve Carella of the 87th Precinct is sure that someone was hired to make the killing look like an interrupted robbery. Then the dead woman's secrets start to spill out of the closet and Carella and Bert Kling find themselves entering the city's sexual underground to discover the truth.

Book Overview: 'Ed McBain is a master. He is a superior stylist, a spinner of artfully designed and sometimes macabre plots' Newsweek 'Not only does an 87th Precinct book gives you two for the price of one, or sometimes fourteen for the price of one, but each of them is faster than almost anything else on the shelves. And through that very speed McBain succeeds in leaving in your mind an impression of detective life that is hard to forget' Crime and Mystery: The Best 100 Books Ed McBain's novels about the 87th Precinct are universally acclaimed as the best police procedurals ever written 'It's hard to think of anyone better at what he does. In fact, it's impossible' Robert B. Parker 'The author delivers the goods: wired action scenes, dialogue that breathes, characters with heart and characters who eat those hearts, and glints of unforgiving humour. Ed McBain owns this turf' New York Times Book Review
