5.0 out of 5 stars ITS GREAT AND THATS NO CON!!!!, Jan 14 2002
By Mac Blair "Mac Blair" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Con Man (Paperback)
McBain has done it again. Another great book. Steve Carella is investigating the murders of young women who are floating to shore. Can Steve catch him before he strikes again???? There are several different cons going on at the same time. The others involve money and not murders. A tattoo artist gets in the middle along with Mrs. Carella. A good, short read that will make you want to read very fast. I nearly just scanned thelast twenty or so pages because I wanted to find out what the ending was. I think you will enjoy this very much.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perils of Teddy Carella, Aug 30 2000
By Larry Eischen (Joliet, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Con Man (Paperback)
I confess, I've been in love with Teddy Carella for years which makes this book a special treat. Her presence is felt all through this book as the guys at the Precinct find themselves faced with all manners of con men. One of them is a serial killer who targets lonely women. When she recognizes the killer, Teddy follows him while trying to leave clues and messages to signal husband Steve. First published in '57, we get to see African American cop Arthur Brown facing off against a hotel clerk who won't serve blacks and we meet tattoo artist Charlie Chen who is not a Chinese detective but also has several worthless sons like the venerable Charlie Chan. This is another terrific entry in the best cop series around.
