Frumious Bandersnatch

By: Ed McBain

Narrated by: Michael Arkin

The kidnapping was audacious,
and there were plenty of witnesses...
But no one attending the dazzling launch party for up-and-coming pop idol Tamar Valparaiso knew what they were seeing when, halfway through her performance, masked men whisked the sexy young singer off a luxury yacht and into a waiting speedboat. Now, the evening that was supposed to send Tamar's debut album, Bandersnatch, skyrocketing with a million-dollar promotional campaign has instead kicked off a terrifying countdown for Steve Carella and the detectives of the 87th Precinct. Time is their enemy in the race to find Tamar's abductors -- before the rising star is extinguished forever.

Like visiting an old friend

love all the 87th precinct books, all Ed McBain novels found them on cassette in our library early 80's and BOMC helped. must have read or listened to about every one he wrote . I adore his storytelling ,his people❤thanks now I can listen again. lucky me🤞

It broke my heart!

I thought the rape scene was pretty brutal. I really liked Tamara and to see that M.F. hurt her so bad, I wanted to slip onto the book and kill him. Ed, Mr. McBain gets kind of "kill happy". some times.
like when he tried to kill Corrella in 3rd 87th book but I love his books and wish I could have meant him. yeah I know, too much information. on to next book.
PS I love Fat Ollie too. Hope he and Patrica can stay togeather. 🙃

Great detective work

Detective Steve Carmella and Cotton Hawes solve the case of a kidnapped entertainer. Many twists and turns. Exercise for the brain
