    About this audiobook

    Detectives Brown and Carella answer a call to a double homicide. One guy broke in and another defended himself and now they both are dead. The case seems open and shut. Except for one piece of evidence: a torn picture in one of the dead men’s hands. When insurance investigator Irving Krutch turns up at the squadroom with another piece of the photograph, Brown and Carella realize their tidy little case isn’t so tidy after all. In fact it leads back to a six-year-old bank robbery that left the four robbers dead and $750,000 missing. Now they must search for the next missing piece of the picture…

    A fascinating, intense crime thriller, Jigsaw is bestselling author Ed McBain at his finest. With relentless pace and genius plotting, this installment of the 87th Precinct series weaves an unforgettable tale of greed and murder.

    • 3/5
      Good police procedural, satisfying ending.
    • 4/5
      Another good one. I believe this is the first time Det. Brown has been the lead alongside Carella and McBain is reliably good on the racial stuff. Not quite as progressive about homosexuals, but this was written around 1970 so we need to give him a bit more time to catch up.

      A torn photograph in an apparently simple homicide leads to a solution regarding a 10-year-old bank robbery as well. Steve Carera is the primary character in this 87th Precinct story.
    • 3/5
      "Jigsaw" finds the boys trying to solve a 6 year old robbery. A bank was held up, and $750,000 was stolen and never collected. All four thieves died in a car wreck almost immediately after leaving the scene of the crime, but the loot wasn't in the car, meaning they dumped it somewhere for later pickup. An insurance investigator thinks he knows where the drop off point was, but he needs the 87th's help. Apparently the criminals took a picture of the spot, and cut the picture up into 8 pieces, and distributed it among themselves, giving their pieces to family or friends for safekeeping. The insurance investigator would like the boys to help him collect the pieces and find the money. Unfortunately, people in possession of said pieces are mysteriously dying.
