About This Item
New York: The Viking Press, 1981. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. The 35th book in Mystery Grand Master McBain's mystery-crime series that set all the standards for police procedural novels. This time 87th Precinct detectives Kling and Carella try to figure out why any man, however deranged, however suicidal, would take an overdose of sleeping pills and then turn off his air conditioner as the city suffers through a sweltering heatwave. Boards and text show some slight soiling and shelf wear, o/w clean and unmarked, tight and square; the dustjacket shows minor surface and edgewear and creased corners on the front flap, no significant flaws. A collectable copy.
