Publisher's Synopsis
From downtown police stations to Caribbean beach hotels, this series of beautifully observed short stories 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 from the pen of a writer who has been named a "Master of Suspense".
