Fiddlers is a mystery novel in the 87th Precinct series by author Ed McBain.
Ed McBain in the 87th Precinct series finds detectives caught by a serial killer who doesn’t match the record.
A blind violinist rests in smoke, a cosmetics rep cooks an omelette in her own kitchen. A college professor shuffling home from class, a priest contemplating retirement in the rectory garden, an old woman walking her dog, these are the seemingly random things a target gets shot twice in the face. Serial killers don’t use guns. Serial killers don’t strike five times in two weeks. And most serial killers’ prey share something more than fifty years old in common. Detective Steve Carella and his colleagues in Precinct 87 must find common ground among the victims before another body is found.
McBain unravels a mystery and examines the dreams we chase in the dark hours before the misfits run away.
