Even after 13 years in the 87th Precinct, Bert Kling and Steve Carella had never seen such murders--six naked bodies, including an infant, and no one knows who any of them are. Then an anonymous phone call leads Kling and Carella to a private street war. Now the two veteran cops just might get caught in the crossfire of organized violence in the city's darkest corners.

Branle-bas Au 87 (87th Precinct, #28)

"Stan Gifford was a funny man. So funny that every Wednesday night millions of people lowered their lights and raised his TV rating to unparalleled heights -- until the night he lost his sense of humor, and his life. Everyone watching thought it was a heart attack. Everyone except Detectives Carella and Meyer, who had a hunch that even forty million witnesses could be wrong...and brilliantly conceived a plan to prove it.Meanwhile, at the 87th Precinct, Detective Kling had his hands full with a black-and-blue blonde. She'd been attacked and sadistically beaten as a warning to stay away from the police, but evidently had been in no mood to listen. Detective Kling took a very close look at the facts, a very long look at the blonde, and accepted the case -- going far beyond the line of duty to solve it.Eighty Million Eyes is one of the most icily explicit expositions of police procedure any reader will ever encounter -- a double-edged thriller dealing with two cases whose histories run concurrently. There is plenty of fascinating lab work, tough action and typical McBain irony before the 87th ties up the loose ends of this unique, twin-sized surprise shocker. It's an absolute spellbinder." -- Book Jacket of the Book Club Edition.

87e district. 2

Tout avait bien marché : Luther Henderson avait kidnappé le môme sans difficulté ; il ne lui restait plus qu'à attendre les 5 000 dollars de la rançon. Mais il y avait une petite chose que Luther ignorait : le père du môme était un redoutable gangster qui, pour l'instant, se payait du bon temps à Capri, mais qui n'allait par tarder à rentrer. Bref, Luther Henderson était dans le pétrin jusqu'au cou, et il ne le savait pas encore.

En petites coupures

Every day the men of the 87th Precinct solve puzzles. Of lives interrupted, lives intertwined, and lives gone wrong on the streets of the city where they work. Sometimes the clues come easy. Sometimes they come covered in blood...Six years ago four men robbed a bank. Then a shootout left them dead, and 750 grand missing. Now Detectives Carella and Brown are finding pieces of a photograph, each piece tied to a name, each name tied to a murder, each murder tied to the bank robbery six years ago. The 87th Precinct cops know than the complete picture will lead them to the money. They just don't know how many people still have to die -- before the last piece falls into place.

On suicide

Avec la découverte d'un charnier où gisent six cadavres, on peut dire que les inspecteurs du 87? commissariat sont particulièrement gâtés. Carella, Kling, Meyer Meyer et les autres flics ont aussi sur les bras une guerre que se livrent différents gangs de jeunes. Et là, ça dépasse tout, car, pour imposer une paix durable dans la rue, un certain Randall Nesbitt, un mec complètement givré mais bourré de principes, déclenche un carnage en règle.
