I read a few of them -- "Mute Witness", "The Quarry" and
"Police Blotter" -- a couple of years ago. I was not too
impressed by any of them. They weren't that bad though, just
unexceptional. Mostly they made me think of how much better
Ed McBain is on this sort of thing. "Bullitt" is one of those
cases where the movie is much better than the book.
