From downtown police stations to Caribbean beach hotels, in this series of beautifully observed short stories, Ed McBain a.k.a Evan Hunter takes us with ease and style through the broad spectrum of the human condition, with the help of some memorable characters.

This wonderful collection brings together eleven short stories, three of which have never before been published, from the pen of a writer who has been named a 'Master of Suspense'.
