The brand new 87th Precinct Novel from the master himself - Ed McBain.
Diva disappeared . . .
This was supposed to be the night that launched a new pop idol into the firmament. Tamar Valparaiso has it all: young and beautiful with the body and voice of an angel. And just as importantly she is going to hit all the right demographics. With a Mexican father she's going to walk the Hispanic market and her Russian mother ensured that her blonde hair will not be scaring off the Britney fans. So, tonight, she is going to make debut performance of her first single - Bandersnatch - on a luxury motor-launch in the heart of the city.
But this is when she becomes Detective Steve Carella's problem. Halfway through her performance - and watched by millions of fans - masked men drag Tamar off the stage and into the bowels of a waiting speedboat. Now the city is in uproar and the responsibility of getting her back safely lies on Carella's shoulders . . .

Review:
When the hottest hip-hop star nobody's ever heard of is kidnapped right in the middle of the launch party for her new video, the crime lands on the desk of 87th precinct cop Steve Carella and makes Tamar Valparaiso famous overnight. This might be the point--or not. In the capable hands of a master storyteller such as Ed McBain, who breathes new life and not a little wit into every one of his police procedurals, even a somewhat hackneyed plot is fresh and interesting. And even if the cultural references to Lewis Carroll don't intrigue you, the progress of Fat Ollie's new romance with a voluptuous cop likely will. --Jane Adams, Amazon.com
Review:
"Read McBain's new novel for evidence that crime and quality aren't mutually exclusive. The verbal badinage is sharp, clever and always true to life. Count the pros. There are a lot of them." (DAILY MIRROR, 16/01/04)
"Up-to-the-minute, witty and clever." (IRISH INDEPENDENT)
'McBain, like a great wine, only seems to improve with age... an engrossing plot that will take readers on a thrill ride. The name McBain guarantees a good read.' (THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE)
