The cliffhanger ending of the last book (‘Lightning’) was so good I had no choice but to jump straight into ‘Eight Black Horses’. Like all the Deaf Man books it’s quite convoluted but a lot of fun, with a particularly pleasing conclusion. ( ) Hluchý se opět vrací na scénu. Na policejní stanici 87. revíru docházejí anonymní dopisy. Obsahují fotografie, jejichž smysl je nejasný: troje policejní auta, pět vysílaček, osm černých koní... Kdo je odesílá? Co jimi sleduje? Chce vyhrožovat? A jaký „trest“ čeká na konci té zlověstné řady dopisů? Detektiv Steve Carella si dlouho neví rady. K dovršení všeho se i vraždí. Čím víc je podivných vzkazů, napětí narůstá a kruh se uzavírá... The Deaf Man is back, and is sending messages to the 87th Street Precinct, starting with a dead, nude blonde in the park across the street from the station house. As always he is plotting a sensational theft and revenge on the detectives who always seem to foil his plans. Once again, through some luck and some clumsiness, major calamity is avoided. “The Deaf Man arrived, and suddenly the circus was back in town.” And I’m back for the Deaf Man vs. the 87th Precinct - Part 4! And I'm also back for the writing, like the first sentence in the book, "The lady was extraordinarily naked." and this line, "Mean, though, still as mean as a hooker's snatch." … Right? Raw, descriptive, and enjoyably unique! This was a fun read, good crisp writing, and quickly devoured by me! Set against the 12 days of Christmas, the Deaf Man sends cryptic clues to the 87th in advance of his latest criminal escapade. And they attempt to defeat him. And so it goes... 4 good reads in a row with this lineup, and I'm looking forward to the last two! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Finding a dead body was not unusual for an autumn night in the 87th Precinct. But this young woman's body was naked--and potentially related to the series of odd missives received at the station house. All signs point to the Deaf Man's return, this time with a plot more diabolical than even the jaded policemen could imagine. He's been sending them mysterious pictures of police equipment: nightsticks, helmets, black horses, and more. But what did they mean?Detective Steve Carella would be one of the first to find out, but only after he discovered that the Deaf Man was impersonating him, which leads to more violence. Now, Carella and his fellow officers must face down the Deaf Man in a lethal confrontation: a confrontation more surprising, shocking, and explosive than anything the cops of the 87th Precinct have ever experienced.Eight Black Horses is an inventive, tightly woven 87th Precinct novel--and it's Ed McBain at his incomparable best.
