This review is from: Killer's Payoff: An 87th Precinct Mystery (The Armchair Detective Library) (Hardcover)
Granted "Killer's Payoff" was written nearly 45 years ago, but even forgetting the goofy then-hip dialog and arcane police proceedures, this is still not among the better 87th Precinct novels. The story is fairly mundane for the series and features Detective Cotton Hawes out on a libido rampage. This is obnoxios enough in and of itself, but at the end, McBain uses the old "talking killer" cliche, only here he multiplies it by three. Bottom line is that these novels are better the more plausile they are. This one contains enough implausibilities to make it hardly worthwhile.
