Now he claims star billing and repayment of a debt owed by Det. Fat Ollie, of the gross appetite and the even grosser ignorance of political correctness, played a surprisingly heroic role in the last 87th Precinct novel, Money, Money, Money (2001). Oliver Wendell Weeks of the 88th Precinct. Jane AdamsFrom Publishers WeeklyEven when MWA Grand Master McBain (aka Evan Hunter) isn't in top form, he is very good and such is the case with this 87th Precinct novel, which really belongs to Det. This is a fast, funny read from the master-like a valentine to his fans while they wait for his next big one. Pity the schmuck who lifts Ollie's only copy of his manuscript from his car-not only is its author in desperate need of what he's sure will be his ticket to fame and fortune, but the befuddled miscreant somehow believes that the caper recounted in Ollie's book is a real one, and that he's in possession of a blueprint for the crime that will allow him to cash in on it. ReviewThe disreputable, bigoted, dirty-mouthed but oddly likable Ollie Weeks, a walk-on in Ed McBain's popular 87th Precinct series, gets a book of his own here: not just the mystery of who killed a popular mayoral candidate a few days before the election, but the one Ollie, improbably, is writing. A thief who is convinced that Ollie's work contains the secret location of a hoard of hidden diamonds. But then the one and only manuscript disappears, leaving Ollie to head off in pursuit of the thief.
Honed by countless rejection letters, it is finally ready to be released to the general populace. But this savage crime is suddenly overshadowed by a deed even more repugnant. At that point he became Ollie Weeks' problem. But five shots later and his lifeblood was seeping away gunned down by person or persons unknown from stage right. Widely tipped to be the next mayor and possessing a nice line in catalogue casual daywear, Henderson stood four square facing his glorious future. Irritating though he was, Lester Henderson had it all when he strode up to rehearse his keynote address in the darkness of a downtown theatre.

Even knowing the danger he posed and the gruesome scenes that must have been caused by him, I still felt a burning inside me every time I heard his voice or felt his hot gaze on me. Follow Isabella in 'big fat secret'series as she faces love, loss and deception.I couldn't seem to contain the inferno burning inside me, being that close to him.
