GIVE MCBAIN A BIG HAND FOR THE BOOK!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is ther eleventh of the 87th precinct series I have read and I think I gave all of them a five. Carella and the rest of the precinct are trying to solve the latest mystery. A hand is found, by a policeman on the beat, in an airline bag. Whose had is it and who left it? They start to work on the case and another hand shows up. They appear to have come from the same person. The book as many interesting characters in it. Such as Bubbles, and how is she conntected to the hands? McBain will hold your attention while you enjoy the ride. The books are short, easy to read and very good. You will begin to relate to the whole squad if you can find the books to read in order. A good mystery and hard to put down when you start it.
Early McBain
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This 87th Precinct story like most of the late 50s-early 60s books in the series is short by modern standards. As always, McBain puts a lot of story in just a few pages. When a severed hand is found, the men of the 87th find themselves tracking a missing seaman, a vanished stripper, and a lost drummer. Juggling several cases at once, the detectives find the solutions while trudging McBain's noir city.
