Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Podcast!
And we begin with an apology - no backup recording means Paul's mic is terribly distorted. Sorry, but you're going to have to suffer the Dalek delivery in this episode.
We're back in 1981 and what we posit is the start of a new 'season' of 87th Precinct adventures. It's hot. There's a corpse. There's betrayal. There's lust for revenge. There's a drugs bust. Everything is happening in this fascinating tale of trust destroyed in so many ways. We hope you enjoying our study of the many 'easter eggs' McBain has slipped into the book. Keep your ears open for a guest appearance from one of Stevo's cats and an old friend...
See you soon for the bonus episode and then we'll be back with ICE! Fare Thee Well.

Ed McBain's Ghosts: Book 34, Bonus: Maritime Calamities
Hark! It's a remote-recorded 87th Precinct Bonus Episode.
Are you ready for the world's first ever round of remote-recorded book-huffing? Will Morgan's schnozz rise to the challenge? Will Paul manage to get through his intro without saying the word 'Ghoosts'? Will Stevo ever remember the name of that Roxy Music album? All these questions - and more - are answered in our bonus episode to our podcast about the book GHOSTS - McBain's exercise in spooky tale-telling from 1980.
During the current situation (pandemic lockdown, future listeners) these bonus episodes are likely to be a bit of a looser affair, although we promise to up the McBain content as much as possible! Remember, we love to answer queries and questions, so send them along and don't forget to visit www.instagram.com/hark87podcast to see the book covers we're discussing.
See you soon for HEAT. Fare thee well.
