During a sweltering heat wave, Detectives Carella and Kling try to make sense of an artist who turned off his air conditioning to commit suicide - but Kling has an even deadlier problem on his hands.

Critic reviews

“Imagine your favorite Law & Order cast solving fresh mysteries into infinity, with no re-runs, and you have some sense of McBain’s grand, ongoing accomplishment.” ( Entertainment Weekly)
“McBain has the ability to make every character believable - which few writers these days can do.” (Associated Press)

I love hard-boiled solice proceeduralseaand, have a deverp fondness for Ed Mcbain and every one at the 87th precinct. This was 5t another wonderful entry in an already-wonderful series. I loved the plot twists, although I think there was one laoose end that didn't get tied up. Maybe more in the next book perhaps? ;-) I thought the narffator was good, but, at times, I thought it was difficult to understand him. But, you know how certain narrators fit certain genres, o! fit certain series, and vice versa? Well, that was the case with this book and series and genre with this narrator.

Yet another wonderful entry in a wonderful series
