3 stories in 1 book! Now that's a treat! The first, "Hail Hail the Gang's All Here", is divided into two sections - “Nightshade” and “Daywatch”, like the two shifts of the 87th Precinct’s detectives’ shifts. Lots of good stories with almost all of the detectives, or 'gang', involved!

"Jigsaw", the men have to find the pieces (all 8 of them), assemble the puzzle, and recover the $750,000 stolen years ago. Simple, huh? Well, not for the detectives of the 87th... especially Detective Arthur Brown, as this book is mostly his case. Cool touch that the pieces are printed on the book's pages!

And in "Fuzz", the gang from the 87th Precinct - Meyer Meyer, Carella, Genero, and the boys, are up against the deaf man again! They are trying to stop him from assassinating city officials. Trying. He's a tough one though, and not easily taken down!

Three good stories and well worth the read! Thanks Mr. McBain!
