Reader Reviews Hooked at once., February 1, 2003 Reviewer: nobizinfla from Windermere, Florida USA I have only recently "discovered" Ed McBain's "87th Precinct" novels, and have been reading them in random order. Like all the others, "Nocturne" was a rapid paced page-turner. The two simultaneous plots are filled with characters with jaunty attitudes on both sides of the law---hookers, pushers. cops, wackos, pimps. The two cases crisscross and dovetail into the same place. The ride to that place is filled with suspense with lotsa twists and turns. Along the way, each cleared suspect leads to another and another until all the pieces meld into the solved puzzle. It is police procedural at its best. I was hooked in no time and could not put "Nocturne" down.
