**Series: 87th Precinct** **Author: Ed McBain** In the gritty underbelly of Isola, a fictional city teeming with crime and corruption, the detectives of the 87th Precinct grapple not just with the law, but with the darkness that lies within their souls. Led by the relentless and sharply principled Detective Steve Carella, this diverse ensemble of officers navigates a labyrinth of murder, deceit, and systemic corruption, driven by a singular mission: to protect their city at any cost.

With each gripping installment, McBain intricately crafts stories that are as compelling as they are reflective of society's darker tendencies.

Dive into a world where every corner hides a secret, and every shadow may hold a killer. Get ready to immerse yourself in the thrilling chaos of the 87th Precinct—where justice is just a heartbeat away.
