Publisher Notes
The summer heat is sweltering. Tempers are rising. When the watchman in a warehouse filled with imported wooden figurines dies with a bullet to his head, the cops of the 87th Precinct are called in--but the case doesn't end there. A fatal hunger for "bread" seems to be spreading throughout the city as a hooker loses her life in the quest for dough. Money is lost in a warehouse fire. Cash is flying in a slum redevelopment deal. And what the cops find behind a tale of fire and money is murder--and lots of it.
Media Reviews
"Amazing...McBain's telegraphic style give his story a hard, reportorial surface."
