I know, I know. It’s full of sexism and racism, so how dare I give it nearly 5 stars. I feel guilty about it, but I loved this installment of the 87h Precinct series. The villain is great, the detectives are wonderfully inept at communicating their need for assistance without alerting said villain, and Steve Carella’s investigation of an apparent suicide is interesting. Plenty of action in a fun plot makes this one my favorite of the series thus far. Dick Hill does a fantastic job narrating the audiobook.
