Condition: Acceptable. Please see the images for more details. Cover Design: Dorothy Wachtemheim Blurb: “What is it that puts McBain so far out in front of the field?" The question was posed in The New York Times review of Ed McBains last 87th Precinct novel, Poison. John Grosss review continued: "Part of the answer no doubt lies in the thoroughness with which he sticks to the procedures themselves.... His other indispensable qualities include the speed and economy with which he gets to the point, his humor and the sharpness of his dialogue. But I'm not certain that a list of separate virtues could ever quite explain why he is so peculiarly readable. Perhaps the mystery defies solution."” Show more
