Secondhand Ed McBain 87th Precinct Bargain Book Box SP4091

Eighteen novels from the greatest police procedural series ever written. Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books, set in the fictional Isola (a thinly veiled New York), are the template for virtually every police drama that followed — smart, humane, darkly funny and relentlessly gripping.

1. Romance — Ed McBain — A new 87th Precinct novel in which the detectives investigate a murder with connections to the world of romantic fiction. McBain at his most playfully ironic.
2. So Long As You Both Shall Live — Ed McBain — Bert Kling's bride is kidnapped on their wedding night. One of the most intensely personal cases in the series.
3. Shotgun — Ed McBain — A double murder in the 87th Precinct pulls Carella and company into a case with no obvious motive and fewer obvious suspects.
4. Hark! — Ed McBain — The Deaf Man, McBain's most brilliant recurring villain, returns with a new scheme and a new series of cryptic messages for the squad.
5. Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here! — Ed McBain — A single night in the 87th Precinct, with multiple cases unfolding simultaneously. One of the most formally inventive books in the series.
6. Like Love — Ed McBain — Two young lovers are found dead, and the squad must untangle whether it was murder-suicide or something more sinister.
7. Sadie When She Died — Ed McBain — A dying man tells Detective Carella he's glad his wife is dead. When she turns up murdered, the case takes a very strange turn.
8. Lady, Lady, I Did It! — Ed McBain — A bookshop shooting leaves four people dead and sends the 87th into the world of publishing and petty crime.
9. Mary, Mary — Ed McBain — A Matthew Hope novel: a Florida lawyer investigates a murder with roots in a Broadway production. McBain's second series at its sharpest.
10. Eight Black Horses — Ed McBain — The Deaf Man's most audacious game yet, with a countdown that has the entire squad on edge.
11. Kiss — Ed McBain — A woman hires the 87th to find out who wants her dead. The answer is disturbingly close to home.
12. Jigsaw — Ed McBain — A torn photograph and a dead body: the 87th must reassemble the pieces — literally and figuratively — to solve the case.
13. See Them Die — Ed McBain — A gang war, a neighbourhood in fear, and the 87th Precinct caught in the middle on the hottest day of the year.
14. Lightning — Ed McBain — A serial killer is targeting women in the 87th Precinct's patch, and the squad races against time with very few clues to go on.
15. Let's Hear It for the Deaf Man — Ed McBain — The Deaf Man is back, this time sending the squad postcards of famous criminals while planning his most elaborate scheme.
16. Ice — Ed McBain — Diamonds, drug money and multiple murders pull the 87th into the cold world of the gem trade.
17. He Who Hesitates — Ed McBain — A rare shift of perspective: a visitor to Isola witnesses a crime and can't bring himself to report it. Psychologically tense McBain.
18. Heat — Ed McBain — A heat wave brings out the worst in Isola, with the 87th overwhelmed and a killer taking advantage of the chaos.
