by EdMcBain (Author)
Gloria Stanford was very sexy, very rich and very, very dead. Found in her plush, city apartment, she had been shot twice in the heart. All her credit cards and ID were gone but apart from that there seemed no motive at all. It's only when the detective-in-charge, Steve Carella, starts to receive bizarre cryptic notes in the mail that he realises something bigger than a simple homicide is going on. It seems the Deaf Man is back - a notorious crook and killer who has a morbid fascination with puzzles and anagrams. Long thought dead, he's back on the loose and wants his long-hidden millions back...

Book Overview: A true great of crime fiction. MONEY MONEY MONEY was shortlisted for the 2002 Edgar award for the best novel. Ed McBain won the prestigious CWA/Cartier Diamond Dagger - the first US writer to do so. McBain's recent novels have been widely acclaimed as the best of his long and distinguished career. He always receives first-rate reviews: 'Sharp, clever and - like the mechanics of Carella's investigation - always true to life' DAILY MIRROR. 'An undoubted master ... [an] immensely assured performance' THE TABLET. 'McBain continues to do what he does best: to write the most engrossing, subtle and accurate dialogue, to which he brings a beautifully soft comic touch. Fans of hard-boiled police novels will have to travel far to find anything better ... They say you should leave them wanting more. McBain always does' SPECTATOR 'The master of the police procedural returns ... McBain is a perennial cause for rejoicing' THE TIMES.
