Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here! (87th Precinct #25) - Ed McBain by Ed McBain
There are 186 patrolmen and a handful of detectives in the 87th Precinct, but its never quite enough. Because between petty crimes and major felonies, between crimes of hate and crimes of passion, the city never sleeps and for these cops, a day never ends, The night shift has a murdered go-go dancer, a firebombed black church, a house full of ghosts, and a mother trying to get her twenty-two year-old to come home. The day shift: a naked hippie lying smashed on the concrete, two murderous armed robbers in Halloween masks, and a man beaten senseless by four guys using sawed-off broom handles. Altogether, its a day in the life. But for a certain cop in the 87th Precinct, it could just be his last
