Ed McBain's Lightning: A Lunatic Empire Man
Manage episode 265261662 series 2532655
Hark! It's an 87th Precinct Podcast.
This episode is all about the 37th book in the series - a brutal and dark tale of serial criminals. We discuss if this is McBain at his most difficult - violence against women, issues of race and much more. Along the way, we also discuss where Evan Hunter was in his career, including some of his notable failures (published and otherwise) and look again at his disgust at the success of Hill Street Blues.
We'll be back soon with our look at the original publication designs, our editions and more 1984 context in our bonus episode.
Fare thee well.
