Killer’s Payoff/ 87th Precinct, Book 6 – Audiobook Online
Killer’s Payoff is the sixth novel in the 87th Precinct series by author Ed McBain.
It’s like an old gangster movie: A speeding car, a flaming gun. A guy walks down the street without a care in the world lying in the gutter without his head on his shoulders. But who pulled the high-powered trigger that turned Sy Kramer from a blackmailer into a chalk marker? Is it a politician’s wife with an erotic past?
The soda-pop mogul desperate to keep a bustling business bottled up? The guy who paid Kramer a small fortune to hide something must be a huge bad thing? It’s up to Detectives Steve Carella and Cotton Hawes of Area 87 to smash the city sidewalks and beat the bushes in the back woods to find the suspect with the best motive, the most burning weapon. and the largest brass set. They will meet beautiful women and lowly people, brilliant white hunters and gray felt advertising executives, and when things get tough, maybe even rivals. their.
I’ve never read a single Ed McBain book that I didn’t really enjoy reading, including Blackboard Jungle, and that says a lot about this author. With most other authors, I get tired of their characters after a while. They either fail to grow, start repeating the same thing over and over, or become annoyed with their apparent perfection. You’ll never get that with McBain, especially with his 87th precinct books. This is a group of characters with distinct personalities and roles, and it’s been a pleasure to read each of his many books.
Most of his time is handled by Cotton Hawes, in collaboration with Steve Carella. I was reading the Kindle version with McBain’s intro explaining how the unnamed editor wanted him to make a more ‘masculine’ detective, and he tried a bit with Hawes in this version – – Hawes often interviews several suspects in this murder mystery and if they are beautiful women, ends up in bed with them. That in itself is a bit humorous as it is described that he is ‘in love’ until after bed.
