Postavu zdánlivě nepolapitelného zločince Hluchého uvedl Ed McBain v tomto již klasickém policejním románu do děje už potřetí (předtím to tak bylo v románech Provokatér a Poldové). Stalo se tak v době, kdy jím smyšlené zločiny a bezmocná neohrabanost policie nápadně připomínaly skutečnost: americká veřejnost byla traumatizována atentáty na vysoce postavené státní úředníky a politiky a popularita policie se pohybovala hluboko pod bodem mrazu. El crimen es algo habitual en el distrito 87, pero a veces surgen casos excepcionales con delincuentes fuera de lo común, como es el caso del Sordo. Dispuesto a ridiculizar al equipo de la comisaría, el Sordo ha trazado un plan infalible para perpetrar un robo ¡con la ayuda de la policía! El criminal no sólo anuncia sus pretensiones, sino que además irá dando pistas a los miembros de la brigada criminal para que intenten averiguar dónde será el excepcional golpe que pretende dar el último día de abril. Like most 87th Street Precinct novels, there are several stories going on simultaneously. This one has three very good ones. (1) A group of "cat" burglaries of apartments where tenants are on vacation with no visible signs of entry, and where the burglar leaves a kitten as his calling cardis left by the (cat) burglar (Bert Kling); (2) A murder, where the victim is crucified on a wall in an abandoned building. The only clue, a left sneaker size 12, and the remains of a fire (Steve Carella); and (3) The return of and taunting by the "Deaf Man," who promises that Carella will help him rob $500,000 on April 30th. The stories are well strung together, and once again the Deaf Man is thwarted, and narrowly avoids escape. Pleased to see Bert Kling find a beautiful, new girlfriend. I find the recurring Deaf Man storyline a little out of place in this series. So much of what goes on in the 87th precinct is steeped in grimy realism, but the Deaf Man is a continually failing Moriarty wannabe. In this book there is a spat between a medical examiner, homicide detectives and paramedics as to who should be responsible for taking down the body of a crucified murder victim. It's a perfectly realized bit of jobsworth mundanity, set off by the grotesque. Meanwhile the Deaf Man is taunting Carella with clues to his crime, clues which end up defeating the whole caper. Silly. Still, I'd rather be reading about Bert Kling's attempts at finding love with a professional model than almost anything else in detective fiction. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

You ll have to speak a little louder, the voice said. I m a little hard of hearing. Between a highly successful cat burglar and a hippie crucifixion, the 87th Precinct definitely doesn t need the Deaf Man showing up again especially since his two previous appearances resulted in blackmail, murder, and general havoc. But at least they have him now...unless he had them first.The Deaf Man can hardly contain his glee. Detective Steve Carella is about to inadvertently help him rob a bank. Each day, he mails Carella a picture to keep the game going. The first two are pictures of J. Edgar Hoover, while the next ones involve George Washington. All are clues, obviously. But how do they add up? And will the 87th Precinct find out before the Deaf Man has the last laugh?A tough, taut, and hilarious mystery, Ed McBain s classic novel will captivate a new generation of police procedural fans."
