The Resource McBain, Ed., 1926-2005

Description: Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series set the standard for gritty, realistic police procedurals. Set in a fictional precinct in a very real New York City and starring an entire police squad working as a team, these novels followed the same characters for more than 50 years. The hallmark of the series is its authentic feel, evidenced in the use of police procedures and tools, streetwise jargon, multiple cases unfolding concurrently, and a POV that shifts from cops to robbers and back again. McBain also wrote a second, grislier series starring amateur sleuth and attorney Matthew Hope. Start with: Cop Hater
