Ed McBain's Doll - Episode 20: A Surprise Roger

Hark! It’s an 87th Precinct Podcast!

Welcome back to 1965 and to the savage and strange world of “Doll” – the 20th novel in the series. 

We have a look at the context in which it was released by exploring the Christmas charts and television of that year, with an exclusive Dave Clark Five rendition thrown in as well. Paul shares some intriguing research linking McBain with the espionage writer Eric Ambler and we share another mutual passion as we talk about Joseph Wambaugh. Oh – we go on about motorways a bit as well. Sorry.

Join us in the next episode for “Eighty Million Eyes”. Please rate, review and share the show wherever you can. It is true that every little contribution helps, however you make it. 

Fare Thee Well!
