Ed McBain's Long Time No See - Book 32: Tubes Up To The Moon

Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Podcast.

Welcome to 2020 everyone. Now that that's out of the way, let's go back to 1977 and the grim slayings of Blind people on the streets of Isola and beyond. It's a busy time for Carella as he looks after a seeing-eye dog, has to fend off flirtatious approaches and get to grips with Freudian interpretation of dreams as they relate to the Vietnam war. All in a days work, etc.

We look at some contemporary reviews, explore a little of the world in 1977 and speculate on why McBain seems obsessed with British references in this book. See you soon for the bonus episode and we'll back in 1979 with book 33 - Calypso. Visit us on Twitter, Instagram or Ko-Fi. Please review and share wherever you can. Fare thee well.
