Publisher Description

He dresses in black and stalks the streets of the 87th Precinct. He is a shadow, always searching for his next victim. And when he finds it, all that will be left is a severed hand.

For Detectives Carella and Hawes, this new killer is an enigma. He leaves no trace of his crime—no evidence at all. Even the severed hands have had their fingertips sheared off. With nothing much to go on, the detectives work off the hunch that the black-clad killer has a grudge against the 87th, and begin a frantic manhunt before any more of his handiwork appears on their streets.

One of world-renowned crime master Ed McBain’s most grisly and intense novels in the famed 87th Precinct series, Give the Boys a Great Big Hand is a finely tuned build-up of brooding malevolence and frantic desperation…

    " An interesting book, not long, quite dated, easy to read, but a great storyline. "

    " It was good, fast read, a nice break from heavy academic reading. Even though it featured all of McBain's ability to create individual voices, the story itself wasn't as compelling as some of his novels. It's a solid entry, utterly without padding. "
