Yes, Ed McBain is back with another 87th novel, his 50th (or is it 51st? I'm not sure), and what is most appalling is that he still keeps up the superb quality he established in the very first novels some 45 years ago!
This book is about drug dealing and false money, a well-constructed plot with the strong nerve and the outstanding dialogues that characterizes McBain's most novels. Furthermore, some of the leads in this novel seem to promise further action in the next book...
I often read other mystery novels, Anglo-Saxon as well as Swedish. But most of them turn me down by being poorly narrated. Or the plot is unconvincing or too "constructed". Therefore it is a true relief to recognize a vintage McBain.

Only Ed McBain could make a story about drug trafficking and counterfeiting seem original. The other storyline about a terrorist plot was eerie in its timeliness.
The 87th precinct novels are the best police procedurals, EVER. My mission in life is to read them all (I'm almost there). The stories are captivating, the dialogue is too delicious. Reading an 87th precinct novel is like eating a sweet crunchy apple. You savor each bite, you never want it to end but you can't stop eating and all too soon you're done, and you're left wanting more.

This book has to be but on the must read list of all crime fiction fans. In normal Ed McBain fashion he grabs your attention right from the start with a horrific murder. He then takes you by the hand for a journey into the darkest corners of criminal behavour.
If you are an Ed McBain fan this book will not disappoint. If you've never picked up an Ed McBain book before this will introduce you to an author that has writen so many winning stories it will take you six mouths to catch us.
Enjoy, I did.
