It started with the blind violinist, shot through the head at point-blank range. Then the omelette lady gets shot with the same gun in the same way. Steve Carella and the boys at the 87th Precinct always seem to be one step behind the killer, for none of the victims seem to be related. And why is the killer heard to introduce himself as 'Chuck'?
It started with the blind violinist - shot twice through the head at point-blank range in the alley outside his dingy restaurant. But it's only when the omelette lady gets shot with the same gun in the same way twenty-four hours later that the police really start to take notice. But Steve Carella and the boys at the 87th Precinct always seem to be one step behind the killer, for while the gun is the same, none of the victims seem to be related in any way. And why is the killer heard to introduce himself as 'Chuck' before pumping bullets into their bodies? Fiddlers is Ed McBain at his best - a twisting, turning puzzle book where nothing is as it seems and the pace never lets up. It once again proves McBain to be one of the true greats of modern crime writing.
