Good characterisation and amusing NYPD detecting in the flavour of the 1950's. The mystery was complex, engaging though not completely plausible in its development as it unwinds. Lost stars because some of the police bumbling was overdone and unrealistic; lost me at the dénouement because the main criminal seems to just float out of the story. (

McBain’s books with criminal mastermind the Deaf Man in are always fun, and this one is no exception. It ends up turning on a coincidence so wild that it should make your teeth ache, but which works brilliantly. (

It was good to return to the 87th Precinct and the cops who work there. I haven't read an Ed McBain police novel in a good while. I like to return to the old series I've enjoyed reading over the years. Fuzz is a solid entry in the series. There's much to admire. I like how McBain uses the cold weather in his narrative. In every scene, the wintry temperatures are found. Reading it in July is a good way to stay cool. The different subplots are tied together at the end with neat precision. The humor is dry and sarcastic as you'd expect in a police station. The painters hired to put a fresh coat on the walls are a riot. I hope I can return again to the 87th Precinct in the near future.

The elusive Deaf Man is back. He calls the 87th precinct and demands $5,000 or a city commissioner will be killed, who is then shot by a sniper leaving the Opera. He ups the ante by demanding $50,000 or a Deputy Mayor will be killed, who is then blown to bits by a bomb in his limousine. Further threats are sent to rich businessman to collect $5,000 per head. Meanwhile, Steve Carella is trying to stop someone from dousing the indigent with gasoline and lighting them on fire, when he becomes a victim when his gun gets caught in his homeless disguise. Two good stories, with a dizzying conclusion. (

Felt a little stodgier than earlier installments. Despite the welcome return of the Deaf Man the ending was ridiculous as his masterplan which was ridiculous enough in the first place was undone by a series of absurd coincidences. Less procedural, more happenstance. Throw in another visit to hospital by 'punchbag' Carella and this was the weakest of the series so far. (

This is for my father-in-law, Harry Melnick, who inspired The Heckler and who must therefore take at least partial blame for this one.
