Mischief A Novel of the 87th Precinct by Ed McBain Somebody's killing graffiti writers. Somebody else is dumping grannies all over town. In a city on the thin edge of racial explosion, a free rock and rap concert is scheduled for a weekend in the park. And oh, by the way, the Deaf Man is back. In his first appearance for almost a decade, the nemesis of the 87th Precinct returns with a vengeance. Zeroing in on Steve Carella, his favourite foil, he bombards the squadroom with directives that seem to describe in detail exactly what he's up to this time - but not quite. The book is in good condition, hard back with dust cover.
