I liked both. But I aim to read more.<br /><br />Jacob - I think I'll look up that other Cordell book. And Cop Hater is the only other McBain book I've read. My take: (http://scottdparker.blogspot.com/2008/10/forgotten-books-cop-hater-by-ed-mcbain.html)<br /><br />Patti - So, do you prefer the 87th Pct. books over his non-87th books?<br /><br />Gary - The next McBain I want to read is his collection "Learning to Kill" where he introduces various early short stories and how they helped him along.<br /><br />Iren - I'm only one book into the 87th canon. I'm sure I'll be reading more.Scott D.

Last summer I read the first three of the 87th precinct, and this summer I've read the 4th and 5th, all good stuff. I am looking forward to reading more McBain myself.Irenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078694505194875348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-33131680005373225932009-07-17T09:24:31.573-05:002009-07-17T09:24:31.573-05:00Mcbain is excellent - another master gone from us....Mcbain is excellent - another master gone from us.

I'm still a newbie to the genre but this is probably in my top 3 so far. <br /><br />From all I have gathered there is only one other book featuring Cordell and it is a collection of shorts called "I Like'em Tough". Oddly, Cop Hater is next in line on the TBR pile.Jacob Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065333777660021975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-10210003099341307212009-07-16T11:55:12.637-05:002009-07-16T11:55:12.637-05:00The 87th precinct novels are not my favorites of h...The 87th precinct novels are not my favorites of his but some of his other stuff is just way over toward great.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
