Super efficient procedural with informers grilled, leads chased down and bad guys braced. Fat Ollie makes his biggest contribution so far and he's an interesting addition to the team leaving Carella conflicted. In the hands of any other writer, he'd be a two-dimensional bit-player. The closing scene where Ollie acts without hesitation while Carella and Kling pause, is simple and stunning. Love these books.

SusanInTiburon I‘ve only read a couple by McBain, and enjoyed them. Do you have any favorites? 7y
GuiltyFeat @SusanInTiburon I started with the first in the 87th Precinct series about 5 years ago and I‘m up to the 31st one now. They‘re pretty uniformly terrific and they make excellent palette cleansers between meatier books. 7y
