About this listen

 Ed McBain, author of the best-selling 87th Precinct series, takes us Downtown in a bold departure of a novel that will have listeners cheering for a lone out-of-towner running for his life in New York City.

Meet Michael Barnes, a Florida orange grower who finds himself in a Manhattan bar with a couple of hours to kill. It's a couple of hours that almost kill him, as he's swindled, robbed, framed for murder, and hunted down by an assassin in one of the wildest, scariest, funniest, fastest 24 hours ever packed into one novel.

no t a Christmas story. The main character goes Downtown in NYC on Christmas Eve. He is chosen as the fall guy in an elaborate plan to ruin someone's Christmas. His Guardian Angel comes to his aid and helps him escape the suspicious characters he meets with. The narrator was excellent. Well worth a listen.

😘😍💕
