Product Description
Product Description
Stan Gifford was America's most beloved comedian. It showed in the ratings--40 million people watched the ever-smiling comedian crack his jokes. And those same 80 million eyes saw him die on camera. It looked like part of the act, but the joke was on Gifford. Now 87th Precinct detectives Meyer and Carella aren't amused--America might have loved Gifford's on-air personality, but everyone who worked for him had a reason to want him dead.

set in the world of televison light entertainment, Steve Carella is on the hunt for the murderer of comic Stan Gifford. As usual Mcbain keeps the reader guessing as to this is...togehter with a supporting cast of characters this is an excellent read. I've been a Mcbain fan for several years and this is one of his best.

NUMBER 21 AND STILL VERY GOOD!
16 Aug 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Another good one by Ed McBain. This is really two stories in one book as there are two different investigations going on at the same time. One is about Stan Gifford, a TV comedian, who dies while on the screen. Was he murdered or did he kill himself? He was thought to be loved by all but it turns out many, many people connected with the show wanted him dead. Through good police work Steve Carella and Myer Myers close in on the killer. Who did the dirty deed? The other story is about Cindy Forrest and a man who shows up at her office, he won't leave and beats up the policeman who is called. She does not know who he is. Bert Kling is assigned to this case. He has had contact with Cindy in a previous book and she does not like him at all. He tries to get of the case but his LT. says no. Bert spends much time with Cindy but after he leaves her one night the man breaks into her apartment and beats her up. Bert then take off on his on investigtation to find the man. Again through very good lab work and Klings police work the man is finally found. A very good police book that explains how things work and how they are but together to come up with the right answers. In most cases you can't go wrong with McBain.

I love the 87th precinct. The characters are interesting and believeable. The stories are a quick read, but well written. I have read many of Ed McBAins books and have enjoyed every one. Taurus
