The Frumious Bandersnatch
The Frumious Bandersnatch | Ed McBain
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
It should have been the night that launched a new pop idol. Tamar Valparaiso is young and beautiful, with the body and voice of an angel, and the stage is set for her to launch her debut album, Bandersnatch, on a luxury yacht in the heart of the city. But halfway through her performance, while the partygoers look on helplessly, masked men drag Tamar off the stage and into a waiting speedboat. Detective Steve Carella is just showing up for the graveyard shift when news of the kidnapping comes in. Working disjointedly with a Joint Task Force that calls itself "The Squad," Carella and the men and women of the Eight-Seven must find Tamar before time -- or indeed her very life -- runs out. In this brilliant look at the music industry, Ed McBain once again combines his mastery of the form with the fast-paced dialogue and intricate plotting that have become his signature.

Another solid addition, although I didn't like the way this one ended!! Can't believe I am actually winding down this series!!! And how is that for a title??

And I thought it was just me. ?
Seth Meyers, in the NYT "By the Book" column this week. Made me smile. And think about The Deaf Man.

The 87th Precinct novels have some #strangetitles. This one is still #TBR.
