See Them Die

I'm curious whether Ed McBain drew from personal experience or extensive research to craft such authentic crime scenes and police work.

The detectives' struggles with justice and morality made the story feel more real, but I wonder if others found these dilemmas as compelling as I did.

The confined timeframe created a sense of immediacy, but I'm curious if that was a deliberate choice to heighten suspense or if it evolved during writing.
