Calypso is a mystery novel by author Ed McBain.
Calypso is one of the darkest entries in Ed McBain’s bestselling 87th Precinct series.
A calypso singer who had just finished his performance walked home in the pouring rain, as bullets pierced his head like steel rain.
A street prostitute in the same miserable weather doesn’t know her last trick will be the last. What brings these two sad endings together… the same gun.
There’s a storm in Area 87, and with every hour that passes, every minute the killer remains distracted, the road gets colder. But that first clue always leads to another, and detectives Carella and Meyer find themselves in a dark, twisted world of sex and sadism, swirling through the city’s veins like a virus. If they don’t find their man soon, the disease will become deadly again… over and over again….
