A review by tearsofthetinman
The Pusher by Ed McBain

3.0

Although dated now , the 87th series were a staple of my reading some 30 years ago and I was surprised that I had never read this one.

It’s a good solid cop novel with everything a police procedural needs - a crime , diligent policeman , a little science , solid police work and a little good luck and bad luck. The location oozes atmosphere of an east coast US city not unlike 1950s / 1960s New York .

Plus it’s a short read and one I needed to get that Goodreads challenge completed .
