Book Description:
Ed McBain's latest installment in the 87th Precinct series finds the detectives stumped by a serial killer who doesn't fit the profile. A blind violinist taking a smoke break, a cosmetics sales rep cooking an omelet in her own kitchen, a college professor trudging home from class, a priest contemplating retirement in the rectory garden, an old woman out walking her dog--these are the seemingly random targets shot twice in the face. But most serial killers don't use guns. Most serial killers don't strike five times in two weeks. And most serial killers' prey share something more than being over fifty years of age. Now it falls to Detective Steve Carella and his colleagues in the 87th Precinct to find out what-or whom-the victims had in common before another body is found.
With trademark wit and sizzling dialogue, McBain unravels a mystery and examines the dreams we chase in the darkening hours before the fiddlers have fled.

Judy S. (This latest installment in the 87th Precinct series finds the detectives stumped by a serial killer not fitting the typical profile. With trademark wit and sizzling dialogue, McBain unravels a mystery and examine the dreams we chase in the darkening hours before the fiddlers have fled.
All of the 87th books are super - just like this one
Another great 87th Precinct novel wherein they attempt to capture a serial killer whose vicitms seem to have little in common.
You almost think that Ed McBain knew he was nearing the end of the 87th Precinct when he wrote this, the 55th and last one. A killer is shooting his victims in the face at close range with the same 9mm Glock. Since the 87th caught the first one, they are also assigned the following ones. While the whole cast of the 87th is stretched thin trying to track down clues in geographically disparate killings McBain gets everyone involved in the chase – Fat Ollie, Steve Carella, Bert Kling, Meyer Meyer. Maybe not his strongest, but certainly a fitting finale.
