Book Overview

Outside the 87th Precinct a stranger stands in the falling snow. He knows he should go in and tell a policeman about what happened the night before, about Molly. Every second that he hesitates takes him one step farther away from the 87th Precinct station, as another second ticks away on an innocent woman's life.

An unusual McBain

This is the most unusual novel in the great 87th Precinct detective series in that instead of being told in the third person like the rest of the books, it is narrated by one of the perpetrators. The perp in question is also one of the more interesting and psychologically tormented of the entire series. This is not the 87th Precinct novel to start with, but if you are a fan of the series, you'll love this one.

Engrossing story told from a new perspective.

A new and interesting twist to the series of the 87th precinct. It has an originality that only Ed Mcbain can work with, and draw the reader into the minds of the villain, rather than the detectives themselves. It gives a new glimpse into the lives of the detectives as seen by others, and not only from what is read. It keeps you in suspense about what is to happen, and also, what has happened. There is true genius in this piece of work.

excellent -- two pens up

I loved this story. It felt like a short story, but the characters he drew were fantastic. It was a see-saw,a tugging at the unknown that made this a page turner for me.
