The 87Th Precinct Force 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.

  • ED Mcbain M Ranso S King'
    KING'S RANSOM Douglas King is rich. A nice house in the best part of the city, servants, big cars, fashionable clothes for his attractive wife, Diane. He's worked hard all his life to get where he is today, and now he's planning a big business deal. It's a very expensive deal, and there are enemies working against King, but if he wins, he'll get to be company president. If he doesn't win, he'll be out on the street. Sy Barnard and Eddie Folsom are not rich. They're small- time crooks, not very successful, but they want all the good things that money can buy. So they plan the perfect kidnapping. 'Five hundred thousand dollars by tomorrow morning, or we kill the boy,' they tell Douglas King. It's a beautiful plan. But Eddie's wife, Kathy, doesn't like it, and neither does Detective Steve Carella of the 87th Precinct. And Sy and Eddie have taken the wrong boy — not King's son, but the Reynolds boy, the son of King's chauffeur. And the chauffeur doesn't have five hundred thousand dollars. So who's going to pay the ransom?

  • Killer' S Payoff the 87Th Precinct Series ED Mcbain the City in These
    Killer’ s Payoff The 87th Precinct series ED McBAIN The City in these pages is imaginary, The people, the places are all fictitious. Only the police routine is based on established investigatory technique. 1. IT COULD HAVE been 1937. It might have looked like this on a night in late June, the sidewalks washed with a light drizzle, the asphalt glistening slickly, blackly, in the splash of red and green neons. Despite the drizzle, there would be a balmy touch to the air, the fragrant smell of June, the delicate aroma of bursting greenery. And the perfume of growing things would mingle with the perfume of passing women, mingle with the perfume of people and machines, mingle with the ever- present smell of the city at night. The clothes would have looked different, the womens skirts a little shorter, the mens coats sporting small black-velvet collars, perhaps. The automobiles would have been square and black. The shop windows would have carried the blue eagle of the National Recovery Act. There would have been small differences, but a city does not really change much over the years, because a city is only a collection of people and people are timeless. And the way the automobile came around the corner, it could have been 1937. The man walking on the sidewalk didnt even look up when the sedan squealed around the corner. He was city-born and city-bred, and the sound of shrieking tires was not an alien sound to him. He walked with nonchalant arrogance, this man, dressed in expensive good taste.
