Widows (Abridged, Audio cassette, Abridged edition)

On a warm summer night, not long after the brutal slaying of his sexy blond mistress, twice-married lawyer Arthur Schumacher is gunned down in the 87th Precinct -- leaving behind a collection of pornographic love letters...and a secret that threatens to snuff out the rest of the women in his abbreviated life. Now grief-stricken homicide cop, Steve Carella, battling his own demons of personal loss, must end a maniac's bloody reign before Schumacher's widows follow the butchered barrister to the grave.

Since he began his bestselling series of police procedural novels in 1956, Ed McBain has produced at least one new, fascinating installment on the 87th-Precinct each year. He has also been awarded the Grand Masters Award of the Mystery Writers of America.

Len Cariou, Tony award winner and two-time nominee, is a veteran performer on both Broadway and television.
