Story
Murders happen every day in the big bad city. They're not such a big deal, you know. Even when the victim is a city councilman as well-known as Lester Henderson.
But this is the first time Fat Ollie Weeks of the 88th Precinct has written a novel, ah yes. Called Report to the Commissioner, it follows a cunning detective named Olivia Wesley Watts, who, apart from being female and slim, is rather like Fat Ollie himself. While Ollie's responding to the squeal about the dead councilman, his leather dispatch case is stolen from the back of his car....

With crooks to cuff and pimps to put behind bars, detectives Carella and Meyer of the 87th Precinct simply don’t have the time or patience to deal with a prank caller - even if he has phoned murder threats to two dozen local shop owners. What they fail to realize, however, is they aren’t dealing with a heckler who’s ringing round for kicks but rather a modern-day Moriarty known only as the Deaf Man - and these phone calls are just his first move in a calculated scheme to pull off the bank robbery of the decade.

Finding a dead body was not unusual for an autumn night in the 87th Precinct. But this young woman's body was naked - and potentially related to the series of odd missives received at the station house. All signs point to the Deaf Man's return, this time with a plot more diabolical than even the jaded policemen could imagine. He's been sending them mysterious pictures of police equipment: nightsticks, helmets, black horses, and more. But what did they mean?

I really, really miss Dick Hill.
This was an excellent series to me, though not particularly this book as much. I miss the previous narrator Dick Hill so much. I read he put his microphone up for art and painting.. I listened to every book in this series narrated by Dick Hill and some of his other series too.. I enjoyed him as a narrator very much.. He had me hooked. The narrator for Mischief was ok but there was something about Dick Hill's ranting and his over the top narrations that bought these stories to life for me. And this book was unusually shorter than previous books and the chapters ran together and I couldn't easily follow as I usually do. I am sure if I purchased the paperback there is a lot of story missing here!!!. I thought I would continue to the last book but probably not now. This one felt rushed and since they aren't the same I just don't know. But I did enjoy most, some more than others. Lastly, yes these stories are from a previous era and generation as told, very racially charged and distasteful but there was truth in them as well unfortunately. That doesn't mean it was to be taken personally as these are for entertainment purposes. Was I offended at times....ABSOLUTELY but I love police procedural. No excuses they could be insensitive at times but I liked the 87th Precinct cops, especially Carella and Kling and Meyer Meyer. The first 40 or so books I really enjoyed and started around book10 then went back to book 1 and in order and knew the characters and cops well. That kept me engaged. I will miss the series and Dick Hill. Farewell.
