Running from Legs and Other Stories — Ed McBain

From downtown police stations to Caribbean beach hotels, in this series of beautifully observed short stories, Ed McBain a.k.a Evan Hunter takes us with ease and style through the broad spectrum of the human condition, with the help of some memorable characters. Marriage problems, prohibition era New York, life in the circus and death in the movies - Running From Legs shows that there is more to Ed McBain than the 87th Precinct. This wonderful collection brings together eleven short stories, three of which have never before been published, from the pen of a writer who has been named a 'Master of Suspense'.
