Money, Money, Money
87th Precinct • Book 51
by Ed McBain
Narrated by Ron McLarty
About This Audiobook
Christmas in the city, and the 87th Precinct is catching bodies in unusual configurations: a woman fed to the zoo's lions, a book salesman carrying a German pistol and a wad of possibly counterfeit bills, and somewhere in the background, several factions are racing to recover a large cache of money before the others find it. McBain's fifty-first Precinct entry, his Edgar Award winner, runs the holiday setting against the grimmest possible material with the wry economy that defines the late-period series.
Ron McLarty narrates — a different voice than the series' long-running Dick Hill, which gives this entry a slightly different quality. His handling of the multiple competing factions and their overlapping agendas keeps the complex plot organized. At just over six hours, Money, Money, Money is the late-career McBain performing at full strength, and the Edgar recognition is deserved.
