Welcome to Litsy!

Published 1972. The killer has confessed. Clear fingerprints and a witness but Detective Steve Carella cannot forget Gerald Fletcher announcing that he was glad someone stabbed his wife, Sadie. Sadie‘s black book shows up and Carella wants to find out why everyone was calling Sadie. Classic McBain! Recommended.

Seasonally appropriate entry in the 87th Precinct series. Carella is convinced that a confessed murderer might not have done it and Bert Kling is desperately unlucky in love.
