King's Ransom by Ed McBain

4.0

Another strong installment in the long-running 87th Precinct series. As usual, this is a strong police procedural, following the policemen as they track down the kidnappers of a young boy.

What's really interesting about these novels is how strong the writing is. McBain is no hack, and he works hard to keep the reader not only entertained, but caught up in the various moods of the locales and the traits of the characters.

This one is well worth your time, just like any of the books in the series.
