Someone asked me awhile back for some Ed McBain books, well, here’s everything I have. Quality varies considerably, from book to book, but I don’t think you’ll find much better. Ed McBain - 46 - And All Through The House was never made into an audiobook, but the folder is there, just in case.
As a cop with the cityâs famed 87th Precinct, Steve Carella has seen it all. Or so he thinks. Because nothing can prepare him for the sight that greets him on a sweltering July night: fellow detective Mike Reardonâs dead body splayed across the sidewalk, his face blown away by a .45.
Days later, Reardonâs partner is found dead, a .45-caliber bullet buried deep in his chest. Only a fool would call it a coincidence, and Carellaâs no fool. He chalks the whole ugly mess up to a grudge killingâ¦until a third murder shoots that theory to hell. Armed with only a single clue, Carella delves deep into the cityâs underbelly, launching a grim search for answers that will lead him from a notorious brothel to the lair of a beautiful, dangerous widow. He wonât stop until he finds the truthâor until the next bullet finds him.
The debut novel from EdMcBainâs gritty 87th Precinct series, Cop Hater was hailed by the New York Times as âthe best of today’s procedural school of police storiesâlively, inventive, convincing, suspenseful, and wholly satisfactory.â
