GIVE THE BOYS A GREAT BIG HAND - Ed McBain




















Body parts start turning up in the 87th Precinct and the detectives have another murder to solve.

This has the usual high quality banter from the characters of the "87th" that lift this series well above most "cops & robbers" mysteries.

This was written in 1960, this particular edition is a UK one out of 1962. I picked it up from a second hand store while driving from Dunedin to Timaru last week.  A bargain at $5 and in great condition for something that's 54 years old. I love the cover art, a lot of effort was made.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
