Trots att de arbetat med mord och brutala brottslingar i det 87:e distriktet i över ett decennium har poliserna Bert Kling och Steve Carella aldrig sett mord som dessa. Sex nakna kroppar, ett av dem ett spädbarn, och ingen vet vilka offren är. Ett anonymt telefonsamtal leder King och Carella in i ett personligt gängkrig. Nu riskerar de att fastna i skottgluggen av organiserad brottslighet i stadens mörkaste vrår.

Ed McBain
Ed McBain, a recipient of the Mystery Writers of America's coveted Grand Master Award, was also the first American to receive the Diamond Dagger, the British Crime Writers Association's highest award. His books have sold more than one hundred million copies, ranging from the more than fifty titles in the 87th Precinct series (including the Edgar Award–nominated Money, Money, Money) to the bestselling novels written under his own name, Evan Hunter—including The Blackboard Jungle (now in a fiftieth anniversary edition from Pocket Books) and Criminal Conversation. Fiddlers, his final 87th Precinct novel, was recently published in hardcover. Writing as both Ed McBain and Evan Hunter, he broke new ground with Candyland, a novel in two parts. He also wrote the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. He died in 2005. Visit EdMcBain.com.
