The recent NEW YORKER profile on Ed McBain (Jan. 10) by Pete
Hamill made several interesting points. He points to a
positive change in readership toward "police procedurals"--a
term McBain says he dislikes--as a result of the national
participation in WWII and the Korean War and likens the 87th
Precinct series to one sprawling multi-novel about New York
City.
