From Booklist

*Starred Review* The Deaf Man is not a dead man. The brilliant criminal, double-crossed by his female partner in Mischief (1993) and left for dead, is back to make life miserable for the detectives of the 87th Precinct. The cops' frustration begins with the murder of the Deaf Man's former accomplice, a crime that leads the investigating officers down a dead end. But then come the notes, hand delivered to the precinct by a parade of junkies, prostitutes, and panhandlers, and containing combinations of Shakespearean quotes, encrypted anagrams, and palindromes. The Deaf Man is providing clues to the crime he is going to commit, if only the detectives are clever enough to decipher their meaning. As Steve Carella, Cotton Hawes, and Fat Ollie Weeks--who also has a lead on his missing novel (see Fat Ollie's Book, 2003)--struggle with the Deaf Man's missives, the Deaf Man himself is dealing with the fallout from his own nearly fatal flaw: underestimating his new female partner. Melissa Summers may be a hooker, but she's no victim and is slowly hatching her own plan as the Deaf Man executes his. McBain has written the series since the mid-1950s yet his key players keep evolving--there are always character-driven subplots woven carefully into the crime story--and the setting is always contemporary. McBain remains the quintessential Grand Master of the genre. If his name's on it, read it. Wes Lukowsky

Ten stars!

Savor this book. Read and delight in each clue. You have a remarkable treat ahead of you!!

If you are a fan of the 87th Precinct novels, you know that the Deaf Man is the greatest criminal character in the series. I find him to be even more interesting than other arch fictional criminals such as the Napoleon of crime, Professor Moriarty. The Deaf Man prides himself on performing his crimes while teasing the 87th precinct detectives with clues about what he's about to do. The clues become more and more obvious as the crime's moment nears, yet the police always remain at least a step behind. There hasn't been a Deaf Man novel since 1993 (Mischief) so this wonderful book has been long awaited. I think the delay was well worth it.

I love both police procedurals and word clues. Hark! is a brilliant example of both. The word clues are deliciously delicate and complex here . . . even when you know what the Deaf Man is working on (which you will from following that part of the novel). I cannot remember a book where the word clues presented so much careful thought. Special pleasure is provided by the many Shakespearean quotes involved. Excellent job!

As to the story, the Deaf Man has recovered from the injuries he sustained in Mischief and wants revenge for his losses. After old business is taken care of, he starts a new caper with a lady of the night as his aide de camp.

In the backdrop, love is in the air at the 87th precinct . . . both new loves beginning and old loves being tested. Can love survive a cop's tough instincts though? Ollie has a chance to find out after he gets a lead on the novel that he lost.

Hark! to this 12. August 2004
Von K. Huff - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A murderer obsessed with anagrams uses Shakespearean sonnets and plays to lead on the detectives of the 87th precinct. Who is the man known as the "Death Man," or "Adam Fen?" In this terse, tense book, Ed McBain takes his rider on an unequaled wild journey of crime and deception, through the streets of "the city" to find a killer. McBain's stark prose is sometimes difficult to understand, however, as the reader sometimes does not know who is speaking. But it is a well-written novel nonetheless.

Ed McBain is the pen name for Evan Hunter, a man who penned the script for the classic Hitchcock movie, The Birds. Here the author uses his knowledge of crime to craft another perfectly- executed story which is action-packed and a lot of fun.

Not the best of the series. 6. April 2005
Von L. J. Roberts - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is not the book with which to start the series, as there are too many references to previous books. It's also not the best of the series as, while the clues were fun, they became tiring and I wanted to story to move along. There is an excellent secondary character to the Deaf Man, which was fun. If you're a fan of the series and have a plane to catch, take this along. Otherwise, I'd go back and start much earlier in the series.

The Deaf Man Returns - So Does Shakespeare 3. Dezember 2004
Von John R. Linnell - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Ed McBain is a prolific author and also a very entertaining one. In this book about the 87th Precinct, The Deaf Man" has returned. I am of the opinion that a book should stand on it's own and you shouldn't have had to have read a prior novel which dealt with the same people to understand what is going on. I don't think this one measures up on that basis. The first chapter is a bit of a grabber and perhaps promises more than the book eventually delievers. The Deaf Man spends most of the book sending Shakespearean clues to the 87th Precinct which are supposed to help them figure out his next crime. Why he goes through that exercise is not clear to me and if I were you I would not get too bogged down in trying to figure out the clues. The rest of the cast of characters are in various stages of "being in heat" which is mildly entertaining. The Deaf Man's "sidekick" somewhat steals the show and is as memorable as any character in the book. If you have a plane ride in your future or plan to spend some time by the fire, this will keep you company quite nicely.
