About the Author
Ed McBain was one of the pen names of successful and prolific crime fiction author Evan Hunter (1926 – 2005). Debuting in 1956, the popular 87th Precinct is one of the longest running crime series ever published, featuring over fifty novels, and is hailed as “one of the great literary accomplishments of the last half-century.” McBain was awarded the Grand Master Award for lifetime achievement in 1986 by the Mystery Writers of America and was the first American to receive the Cartier Diamond Dagger award from the Crime Writers Association of Great Britain.

JIGSAW IS A PUZZLE!!!,
By Mac Blair "Mac Blair" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jigsaw: An 87th Precinct Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
A man is found dead with a piece of a picture in his hand. This piece is part of a puzzle that shows where money from a robbery, of seven years ago, is located. The piece turns out to be one of eight pieces held by different people. There is also a list of names that have been torn into two pieces. People that hold the pieces are turning up dead. Arthur Brown and Steve Carella try to solve the mystery. They are assisted by Myer Myer and Cotton Hawes. A former insurance investigator is involved. Brown gets beaten up but through it all the 87th comes through. The book is a little slow moving at times, not hardly as good as most of the other McBain book I have read. It will still hold your attention and is well worth the read.

This review is from: Jigsaw: An 87th Precinct Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
A fine 87Th precinct novel with much suspence and wit.A true McBain story:easy to read,fine deduction,true procedures and difficult to put down. Try also the audi:Impossible to put out.... Was -much to my surprise-a plot adapted for a Colombo movie-as was 'As long as you both shall live'.
