The Pusher by Ed McBain
3.0
My first McBain and almost definitely not my last. This is dark, cold noir starring a bunch of straight cops that actually care. It's very procedural, almost like a noir-ish Law & Order. It's pure entertainment but that's okay, sometimes that's all I need.
The footnote is also well worth sticking around for, it's a pretty amazing look at how the author allowed himself to be bullied into changing the end by the publisher and his agent (although it worked out very well for him in the end).
