There are a couple of "100 Greatest Crime Novels Lists," and two McBain novels are on those lists, "Cop Killer" and this one. I read "Cop Killer" first and wasn't real impressed, but given that it was written in the 50s and very formulaic, I understood its shortcomings. I read this one then, and it's the real deal. A very, very good novel, and it made me want to order more McBain novels. Worth the time to read.
