<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The summer heat is sweltering. Tempers are rising. When the watchman in a warehouse filled with imported wooden figurines dies with a bullet to his head, the cops of the 87th Precinct are called in--but the case doesn't end there. A fatal hunger for "bread" seems to be spreading throughout the city as a hooker loses her life in the quest for dough. Money is lost in a warehouse fire. Cash is flying in a slum redevelopment deal. And what the cops find behind a tale of fire and money is murder--and lots of it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The dog days of August are making the 87th Precinct feel like the inside of an oven. But things can always get hotter. With nearly half the squadroom on vacation, Detectives Carella and Hawes look into what appears to be an ordinary warehouse fire--but Carella and Hawes rarely see anything ordinary, and this is no different. The trail from the warehouse leads uptown to the murders of a junkie and a suspected prostitute. They soon discover a shady ghetto redevelopment deal may have gruesome ties that run deep into the city's underbelly. <p>Full of fascinating characters and dialogue, <i>Bread</i> follows a bloody money trail through the city's back alleys and dark corners. This installment of the 87th Precinct series is bestselling author Ed McBain at his grittiest.<p>
