 "TRANSGRESSIONS"
Highly recommended for all fiction collections.... ... pound-for-pound the best reading value of the season... So how's the mix? It's as if it were made by a good friend who knows just what you like--and even remembers that you like to be surprised once in a while

 NYTBR on ALICE
"Without making light of Alice's distress, McBain takes nasty delight in turning the crisis into a three-ring circus, with competitive teams of clumsy police detectives, arrogant F.B.I. agents and a clueless sheriff running parallel investigations and botching them through bad luck and sheer ineptitude."

 BOOKLIST ON "ALICE"
"If this were his first novel, we'd anoint him the next great crime novelist of the new century. But since we have more than 50 years of great work on which to judge him, we'll say instead that he's still at the top of his game."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY ON "ALICE"
"A swift, cleverly plotted story line, sassy dialogue and a well-drawn, resilient heroine make this gripper a hands-down success. As one of our most prolific and talented writers, McBain appears to have struck gold once again."

 LATEST REVIEW ON "HARK!"
" Ed McBain did not quite invent the police procedural. Dashiell Hammett did not invent the private eye novel, either, but he popularized it, and Raymond Chandler then became its greatest practitioner. Mr. McBain both popularized this important literary subgenre and became its greatest practitioner." ***********

"With a series as long-running as this one (since 1956), coming up with something fresh would seem pretty much impossible. But McBain shows why he is a master."
