It is Christmas in the city, but it isn't the giving season. A retired Gulf War pilot, a careless second-story man, a pair of angry Mexicans, and an equally shady pair of Secret Service agents are in town after a large stash of money, and no one is interested in sharing.

The detectives at the 87th are already busy for the holidays. Steve Carella and Fat Ollie Weeks catch the squeal when the lions in the city zoo get an unauthorized feeding of a young woman's body. And then there's a trash can stuffed with a book salesman carrying a P-38 Walther and a wad of big bills.

The bad bills and the dead book salesman lead to the offices of a respected publisher, Wadsworth and Dodds. This is good news for Fat Ollie, because he's working on a police novel -- one written by a real cop -- and he's sure it's going to be a bestseller.

Ed McBain returns to his legendary 87th Precinct with a suspenseful story of greed, conflict, and the eternal search for money, money, money. Download and start listening now!

Quotes & Awards

    Los Angeles Times

  • “Reading this entertaining and slickly done novel is an eerie experience.” 

    Wall Street Journal

  • “Money, Money, Money...tightly plotted, darkly funny, and charged with enough McBain energy to suggest a new dawn. 

    Philadelphia Inquirer

  • “Adroit scene-setting, the pitch-perfect dialogue for which he is famous and streamlined presentation of a Byzantine plot make the pages turn quickly.” 

    Publishers Weekly

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Keith Davis | 1/22/2013

    " Drug smugglers, burglars, counterfeiters, murderers, terrorist bombers, and an escaped lion all in one novel. It is a fun read like all of the McBain police novels but this one has a bit of a kitchen sink feel to it like Hunter has several ideas and couldn't bring himself to narrow the focus. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Eric | 10/8/2012

    " Another fun entry in the 87th Precinct series. McBain's sharp dialog and occasional humor are in good form. The plot seemed a bit convoluted at first but luckily wrapped up pretty well at the end, while at the same time suggesting that some of the plot will continue to the next book. I hope it does. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Sarah Knowler | 9/5/2012

    " I was a total Ed McBain snob, but the man writes a very enjoyable crime thriller romp. Full of accurate personalities (I'm not sure I'm making myself clear here, but whatever) and humor. I enjoyed this, and wouldn't turn up my nose to another in the future. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Frank | 8/10/2012

    " This book is average for McBain. It is definitely a good story that also shows the characters getting older and questioning many things. The is especially true of Detective Carella. It just didn't flow like many of the earlier 87th Precinct novels. "
