It's January. The weather is cold—and it’s about to feel even colder. Detectives Carella and Kling of the 87th Precinct stand at the edge of their jurisdiction staring down into a ditch filled with six naked, murdered bodies. But who put them there and why?
As Carella and Kling dive deeper into the mystery of the six, they find themselves walking into a deadly battle among three teenage gangs: the Hispanic Death’s Heads, the African American Scarlet Avengers, and a white gang known as “the clique.” Racing to put together the clues before a criminal mastermind and a full-blown gang war tear the city apart, Carella and Kling need to use every trick in their arsenal.
Hail to the Chief is one of the finest in bestselling author Ed McBain’s 87th Precinct series. An edgy thriller with marvelous characters that speeds toward an explosive final act.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. The time is January. The detectives: Steve Carella, of the 87th Precinct, and his partner, Bert Kling. And as the case unfolds, it becomes clear that the multiple corpses are casualties in a street war between 3 teenage gangs: the Death's Heads, who are Spanish; the Scarlet Avengers, who are black, and a white gang known at first only as "the clique" and led by a tough customer named Randy Nesbitt. By the time the case is closed, Carella and Kling have come across 2 more murders and a shoot-up of such ferocity that they refer to it as World War III. As always, this 87th Precinct novel is filled with marvelous characters: Detective Meyer, assigned by public relations to give a lecture on rape at a girl's college. He is also being hounded by an avid reporter, Montgomery Pierce Hoyt, who is doing an article on the connection between crime and television. Andrew Kingsley, fresh from California and believing that he can stop the gang war. Lisa Knowles, from California, too, and so beautiful and appealing that she nearly causes Carella a moment of uncharacteristic weakness. And besides the other cops, the Homicide detectives, the gang members with their passwords and switchblade. And overall, the tone of absolute authenticity which marks the 87th Precinct. There are rough deckled page edges. N° de réf. du vendeur 743
