Frumious Bandersnatch

A Novel of the 87th Precinct

De: Ed McBain

Narrado por: Michael Arkin

It should have been the night that launched a new pop idol. Tamar Valparaiso is young and beautiful, with the body and voice of an angel. The stage is set for her to launch her debut album, Bandersnatch, on a luxury yacht in the heart of the city. But halfway through her performance, masked men drag Tamar off the stage and into a waiting speedboat, while the partygoers look on helplessly.

Detective Steve Carella is just showing up for the graveyard shift when news of the kidnapping comes in. Working disjointedly with a Joint Task Force that calls itself "The Squad", Carella and the men and women of the Eight-Seven must find Tamar before time - or indeed her very life - runs out.

In this brilliant look at the music industry, Ed McBain once again combines his mastery of form with the fast-paced dialogue and intricate plotting that have become his signature.

Like visiting an old friend

love all the 87th precinct books, all Ed McBain novels found them on cassette in our library early 80's and BOMC helped. must have read or listened to about every one he wrote . I adore his storytelling ,his people❤thanks now I can listen again. lucky me🤞

It broke my heart!

I thought the rape scene was pretty brutal. I really liked Tamara and to see that M.F. hurt her so bad, I wanted to slip onto the book and kill him. Ed, Mr. McBain gets kind of "kill happy". some times.
like when he tried to kill Corrella in 3rd 87th book but I love his books and wish I could have meant him. yeah I know, too much information. on to next book.
PS I love Fat Ollie too. Hope he and Patrica can stay togeather. 🙃

Great detective work

Detective Steve Carmella and Cotton Hawes solve the case of a kidnapped entertainer. Many twists and turns. Exercise for the brain
