THE FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH by ED MCBAIN
|
SummaryIt should have been the night that launched a new pop idol.
Tamar Valparaiso is young and beautiful, with the body and
voice of an angel, and the stage is set for her to launch
her debut album, Bandersnatch, on a luxury yacht in the
heart of the city. But halfway through her performance,
while the partygoers look on helplessly, masked men drag
Tamar off the stage and into a waiting speedboat. Detective Steve Carella is just showing up for the
graveyard shift when news of the kidnapping comes in.
Working disjointedly with a Joint Task Force that calls
itself "The Squad," Carella and the men and women of the
Eight-Seven must find Tamar before time -- or indeed her
very life -- runs out. In this brilliant look at the music industry, Ed McBain
once again combines his mastery of the form with the fast-
paced dialogue and intricate plotting that have become his
signature.
