Hark! It's an 87th Precinct podcast. We're in 1985 and who better to come along to mark the halfway point of the decade but the 87th Precinct's nemesis, The Deaf Man? Making his fourth appearance in the series, he returns full of schemes and anger. How will the boys from Grover Avenue cope this time?
Along the way we discuss some key cultural, political and technological points from 1985. Paul offers his 'McCartney' theory for the book and we look at some contemporary reviews of the novel as well. As always, we appreciate any ratings, reviews or shares of the episode you can give us.
Next up is book 39 - Poison. Until then, fare thee well.

Ed McBain's Lighting - Book 37, Bonus: Dystopian Fozzy Bear
Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Bonus Episode.
Following on from our discussion of the dark and difficult book 'Lightning' we take our usual gander at the original book cover designs and then get stuck straight into as much 1984 ephemera as you can shake a stick at. We've reached a point in the series publication year where we actually remember a lot of things coming out, so apologies for the ongoing transition into a very specific nostalgia account!
We offer up our picks of 1984 movies and albums as well and Paul adds some important Quincy based clarity.
See you soon for Eight Black Horses. Fare thee well.
