	Telegraph \| News \| Ed McBain
		Hunter rightly fumed at the wholesale theft of his patent by Hill Street Blues, whose multi-stranded storylines and humane detectives set new standards in police drama but never acknowledged its own inspiration.
		Hunter was encouraged to continue writing; but rather than become a spokesman for youth he began to experiment with the McBain pseudonym.
		While continuing to publish in later years as Hunter, to which he formally changed his name, he regarded Hunter as a slightly stiff literary figure, whereas McBain gave him more freedom and fun; and it was into this identity that he put his true energy.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Evan Hunter dies; he was better known as Ed McBain
		HARTFORD, Conn. — Evan Hunter, a prolific writer whose gritty Ed McBain 87th Precinct detective series pioneered the police-procedural genre and laid the groundwork for a generation of TV cop dramas, has died at 78.
		Hunter was a serious researcher, filling his work space with books on whatever subject the story of the moment touched.

	Evan Hunter
		The underlying paradox is, of course, that Hunter's "serious" novels should be overshadowed by his work in a genre regarded on the whole as sub-literary.
		Although the remarkable continuity in the 87th Precinct series might suggest a narrowly directed talent, the continuing vitality of the series is actually a testimony to the seeming lack of continuity in the range of subject and narrative techniques in the novels he has written as Evan Hunter.
		As McBain, Hunter has convincingly extended to very recent phenomena a long-evident sensitivity to youth culture, to the urban-outlaw mentality, and to the dynamics of social protest.

		Hunter proves himself to be a master at getting inside the heads of his characters and showing the sort of frailties -- sometimes born of fear, other times born of love - that make us all too human.
