Inhoudsopgave:
A âgrippingâ collection of crime stories from the author of the acclaimed 87th Precinct novels (People). Â Ed McBainâs 87th Precinct is âperhaps the finest police procedural series of all timeâ (Publishers Weekly). But before he turned to novels, McBain wrote short crime fiction under various names, for pulp magazines including Manhunt and Argosy. Collected in this anthology are twenty-five of these early stories, organized under headings such as âWomen in Jeopardy,â âPrivate Eyes,â âLoose Cannons,â and âGangs.â Â For fans of Ed McBain, the authorâs introduction to this anthology will be just as exciting as the stories themselves. There and in his introductory notes to each section, he offers valuable insight into his writing and his singular career. |
