		McBain was the first to note the attraction for readers of professional terminology, now the trademark of all thriller writers.
		McBain intended to write one beginning with each letter of the alphabet, with the last two (posthumous) publications to be called "Exit" and "Put Them All Together and They Spell Mother".
		McBain complained that they took too long to research, and he often used them to keep his skills honed.

	Mystery Guide - The Mugger by Ed McBain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		This is the second book in Ed McBain's long-running and innovative series, set in a lightly-fictionalized New York City (he chose to change some names because he didn't want to be accused of getting the real-life procedural details wrong; but everyone understands that this is NYC and that's what I'm going to call it).
		McBain's spare style, which combines a cool ear for dialogue with impassioned descriptions of the setting, is now much-imitated; it has dated only a little, in that one of the minor characters employs a "hep-cat daddy-o" vocabulary.
		The police work seems a little light on interrogation, but is nicely conceived and well-described (one of McBain's clever touches is to slip facsimiles of real-looking police documents, such as fingerprint cards and autopsy reports, into the story).

	The Frumious Bandersnatch, Fat Ollie's Book by Ed McBain -our reviews
		One of the things that McBain typically includes in a Deaf Man story are pictures, newspaper cutouts, drawings, etc. that the Deaf Man sends to the 87th Precinct to give them clues that he assumes they will be too dumb to understand until he has finished taking whatever he plans to steal.
		McBain adds a few other minor story lines for the members of the 87th Precinct that are both work and personal related.
		As Ed McBain, he is the author of the 87th Precinct novels, the longest, the most varied, and possibly the most popular crime series in the world.

	Ed McBain Interview Page
		Even though we're meeting for lunch in a restaurant on Great Portland Street, when Ed McBain comes in, trench coat draped over his arm, I half expect to see a New York City yellow cab pull away.
		McBain is accompanied by his wife of five years, Dragica, or Dina.
		He's doing better than me, because I'm accompanied by Mark Timlin, and the measure of McBain's stature is that the normally ebullient Mark is strangely subdued in the presence of one of his true idols.

	Ed McBain: A Final Farewell to a Novelist
		Befitting an author who lived most of his 78 years primarily under two different identities -- those of Ed McBain and Evan Hunter -- although neither of those was his real name (he was born to Italian parents as Salvatore Alberto Lombino), McBain, as he's best known, seemed very much a dualistic character.
		For the next 49 years, Evan Hunter and Ed McBain would appear in magazines and climb the bestseller charts together, though not on the same ladders.
		McBain always resisted being boxed into a corner as a crime writer; he had grander literary ambitions than that.

		McBain is one of the artists of the police procedural.
		As always, McBain invests the many story lines with off-the-wall humor (nun jokes abound), a startlingly real cast of suspects and witnesses and a terrifically entertaining mix of cop dialogue, gritty city atmosphere and action.

		Ed McBain is not a writer to be trifled with, so before delving into his background I thought it prudent to give him his Miranda warning against self-incrimination.
		Since the sharp-eyed McBain focuses on sartorial and culinary clues to his characters' personalities, it seemed only fair to corner him at one of his favorite hangouts.
		The McBain mysteries are easier to write and more fun to create than the complex Hunter novels, he said, adding, ''Changing writing styles is like an actor taking on a different part.'' But the dual roles have spawned difficulties for him with critics and authors.

		Ed McBain, who also writes under his true name of Evan Hunter, has been producing a wide range of literary efforts since the publication of his first bestselling novel, THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, in 1954.
		McBain has spent the greater part of his writing life introducing readers to police officers who are quietly competent crime fighters, solving mysteries with deep thought and hard work.
		While McBain takes great and humorous delight in skewering the bumbling efforts of the Florida law enforcement officials involved in Alice's case, there is still a kidnapping to be successfully solved.

		Ed McBain wrote this noir head-banger almost 50 years ago and was revising it right up until he died last summer.
		He can't have cleaned up his hero, a cynical New York private eye living like a bum on the Bowery, or censored his own politically incorrect sensibility, because all that good stuff is what gives this vintage story its backbone.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Obituaries \| Ed McBain
		Yet more than most, Ed McBain, who has died from cancer aged 78, could lay claim to having created his own genre, or at least sub-genre, for the police procedural was defined by what McBain achieved with his long series of some 50 87th Precinct novels.
		Some interviews with McBain have referred to books written as SA Lombino, but they may be chimerical; and perhaps, hidden in the undergrowth of 1950s pulp magazines, there lurk yet more Lombino alter egos.
		It was McBain's ability to keep abreast of the zeitgeist that made his novels such an attractive model for TV series such as NYPD Blue and, particularly, Hill Street Blues.
