At midnight, one day dies as another comes to life. For the men of the 87th Precinct, they all bleed together in a never-ending cycle of crime and punishment. But every now and then, a day stands out as more unusual than the others. This is one of those days.
Carella and Hawes investigate a murder; Kling delves into a store-front church bombing; Meyer checks out a house haunted by larcenous ghosts; Willis and Genero look into a naked hippie’s four-story death fall; Delgado takes an assault case in the Puerto Rican barrio; and Kapek hunts a man and woman mugging team. But when a gunman kills a grocer and shoots Parker twice, the rules of the game quickly change. With Parker’s life hanging in the balance, the detectives of the 87th will stop at nothing to get their man.
For the first time, bestselling author Ed McBain puts all of his characters into one supercharged installment of the 87th Precinct series. Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All Here! is a taut, relentless thriller that illustrates his unmatched ability to weave multiple story threads into one ferociously intense novel.

"This 87th precinct installation is a bit different because it consists of something like a bunch of short stories instead of a self contained book. This makes it somewhat "choppy", yet more realistic. Not the best McBain had to offer, but features all the usual suspects and still very enjoyable" — Helen (4 out of 5 stars)

" It's Ed McBain multi tasking. I enjoyed "
" This is my first Ed McBain 87th Precinct mystery but it won't be my last. Very fast and entertaining. "
" With this book McBain starts the tradition of the 87th Precinct novels of having different cases being worked on by different detectives in a single story. Not all cases are resolved in the single novel. This is one of the best 87th precinct books. "
" This book is great. It has just the right amount of sleaze. "
" A fairly weak effort. A series of unconnected cases, being worked on and solved by the 87th Street Precinct bulls. The main case is the shooting of Parker, whom nobody liked much anyway. "
" Have no problem reading any of his books. Good mysteries. "
