About the book
A riveting addition in the 87th Precinct series by Ed McBain. This story is a great intertwining of two very strong and emotional storylines. The author does a fantastic job of moving between the two without disrupting the flow of the other. The stories are tied together by the main character Detective Steve Carella. One story is very personal, dealing with the brutal murder of his father and the highly visible trial of the accused murderer. During this same time, Carella is working on a police investigation of the attempted murder of a wealthy and beautiful woman. This story is filled with murder, hired killers, marital betrayel, and the dark side of the legal system. Keeps the attention of the listener. Only negative I felt was that the language could have been tempered without losing the momentum. All in all, a very enjoyable experience.
