Only a fool would call it a coincidence, and Carellas no fool. He chalks the whole ugly mess up to a grudge killinguntil a third murder shoots that theory to hell. Armed with only a single clue, Carella delves deep into the citys underbelly, launching a grim search for answers that will lead him from a notorious brothel to the lair of a beautiful, dangerous widow. He wont stop until he finds the truth-or until the next bullet finds him.The debut novel from EdMcBains gritty 87th Precinct series, Cop Hater was hailed by the New York Times as the best of today's procedural school of police stories-lively, inventive, convincing, suspenseful, and wholly satisfactory.
