Ed McBain's last installment in the 87th Precinct series finds the detectives stumped by a serial killer who doesn't fit the profile. A blind violinist taking a smoke break, a cosmetics sales rep cooking in her own kitchen, a college professor trudgi ng home from class, a priest contemplating retirement in the rectory garden, an old woman walking her dog - these are the seemingly random targets shot twice in the face. But most serial killers don't use guns. Most serial killers don't strike five t imes in two weeks. And most serial killers' prey share something more than being over fifty years of age. Now Detective Steve Carella and his colleagues must find out what - or whom - the victims had in common before another body is found. With trade mark wit and sizzling dialogue, McBain examines the dreams we chase in the darkening hours before the fiddlers have fled.
