87th Precinct novels are always worth a read and this is no exception. In fact, this is one of my favorites in the series.

from the back cover:
Who butchered a troubled young priest in his own church? Did an overzealous gang of neighborhood Satanists have a hand in the bloody business? Or were there even darker doings behind the ornate closed doors of St. Catherine's?

Release planned for Monday, July 07, 2003 at Mailing to another BookCrosser in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA.

This book will be starting its journey in a book box to be mailed July 7.

The Beard gave a yelp of glee when he saw lots of Ed McBain mysteries in foovay's mystery bookbox, so I let him help me pick a couple out. Thanks foovay.

The Beard loved this. I myself prefer the more English kind of detective story. However this was a good page turner that kept me guessing until near the end, which I much prefer to mysteries that reveal the killer in the first few chapters. This is the first Ed McBain I've read and I shall definitely read more.

RELEASE NOTES:

Releasing this at Eymet's first official Meet-Up and start of its very own OBCZ. 8 p.m. (20.00).
