The 87th Precinct Force A Roll The reader’s index to Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct novels. The policemen, their immediate families and regular associates ”[Meyer] opened his top desk drawer and pulled out a clip-board to which a mimeographed sheet was attached. He studied the grid, his index finger running down the page.” Til’ Death, 1959 Compiled by Ted Bergman for scholarly research The Gang’s All Here Ed McBain / Evan Hunter — born October 15th, 1926, ”the birthdate of great men”and deceased in 2005 — has presented us with his 87th Precinct world. Located in the middle of Isola the precinct area is bounded on the North by the River Harb and hemmed in to the South by Grover Park. Running East and West for thirty-five blocks the territory holds a population of 90.000 people. There are one hundred and eighty-six patrolmen, twenty-two sergeants and eighteen plainclothes detectives attached to the Eighty-Seventh Squad. Do you want to meet them? Well, pay a visit to the old gray stone faced precinct house at 41 Grover Avenue (former 457 Parkside) and climb the seven worn steps to the entranceway arch straddled by the famous green globes. Or just join the millions of readers of Ed McBain’s classic novels. You’ll become addicted! T.B.
