Description

It is Christmas in the city, but it isn't the giving season. A retired Gulf War pilot, a careless second-story man, a pair of angry Mexicans, and an equally shady pair of Secret Service agents are in town after a large stash of money, and no one is interested in sharing.

The detectives at the 87th are already busy for the holidays. Steve Carella and Fat Ollie Weeks catch the squeal when the lions in the city zoo get an unauthorized feeding of a young woman's body. And then there's a trash can stuffed with a book salesman carrying a P-38 Walther and a wad of big bills.

The bad bills and the dead book salesman lead to the offices of a respected publisher, Wadsworth and Dodds. This is good news for Fat Ollie, because he's working on a police novel -- one written by a real cop -- and he's sure it's going to be a bestseller.

Ed McBain returns to his legendary 87th Precinct with a suspenseful story of greed, conflict, and the eternal search for money, money, money.

The New York Times McBain plays fair and square with the complications that arise from this clever setup. Over and over, he keeps telling us to keep an eye on the money, which slips through more hands than a third-grade bathroom pass.
The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) Tight plotting, crackling police work, and bizarre people...a witty tale of counterfeit money that grows before the reader's eyes.
St. Petersburg Times (FL) Captivating stuff.
The San Diego Union-Tribune Chock-full of his customary crisp plotting, colorful characters, and wry humor....May [McBain], like his 87th Precinct, stay young forever.
The Post and Courier (Charleston, SC) An instant classic....It's McBain at his best. And there's none better.
The Calgary Sun It's vintage McBain, fast, funny, and far-fetched....
Publishers Weekly McBain's "Money" is a sure bet....[His] writing remains young, vigorous, sharp, and entertaining.
Kirkus Reviews The complications flow so effortlessly and the tone is so irresistibly ebullient that you can relax in the hands of a master. Merry Christmas.
