I thought this was one of the more entertaining entries in this long running police procedural series. A sniper is on the loose in Isola and Steve Carella and Meyer Meyer catch the case. A very intense page turner.

People are being shot seemingly randomly by a sniper. Good pace on this one. McBain includes some police brutality as we all know that was a part of some departments. Makes you mad.

Another excellent mystery from the 87th. What really shone for me in this one is McBain's ability to create living, breathing, believable characters in just a few pages. And then kill them.

Another new plot. Lots of fun stuff with Meyer Meyer (he meets someone called Stan Quentin and tells him they almost named a prison after him. When the guy asks "which prison?", Meyer answers, "Alcatraz"), but a disappointing lack of Cotton Hawes. Solid stuff with a weird orgy at its heart.
