Another strong entry in this classic series

I have been working my way through the 87th Precinct series. This really is a must-read series for any fan of police procedurals. It is genesis of classics like Hill Street Blues and the 1000 imitators that follow. Mixes who-done-it with character development of the team of detectives with a dash of social commentary.

Love the fact that this series was redone with a single narrator. The classic voice of Dick Hill brings the perfect mix of humor and seriousness to each book. Well done.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
