McBain's Ladies Too — Ed McBain

From the author of the classic 87th Precinct police procedurals comes a new collection devoted to his fictional women ... savvy, sexy, and very bad. Main's Ladies Too puts the spotlight on the femmes fatales--the ladies who make life rough for the cops of the Eight Seven. Among them are:

The Pregnant Hooker. The riotous events-of a typical Saturday morning in the squad room screech to a halt when a streetwalker gives the gift of life.

Hillary Scott. A psychic leads Steve Carella to the heart of a murder mystery--and to a ghost.

Virginia Dodge. A beautiful brunette with a bottle of nitroglycerin takes the squad room hostage.

The Fat Lady. She and her trusty razor rule the street, and no cop is going to stop her from taking over the neighborhood drug trade.

For every lover of bad women and fine suspense, here is a classic collection of larcenous ladies, murderous madams, and dangerous debutantes.
