Title: ALICE IN TIN PAN ALLEY
Review: In THE FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH, Ed McBain weaves biting satire and police procedural into pure gold. His prime target is the 21st century record business and some of the evils wrought by monopoly of the airwaves, but along the way he manages to skewer other media foibles. (like the panels of "expert" talking heads that proliferate on television) The warp of McBain's loom is the good old 87th Precinct. The detectives of the 87th duel an FBI task force to solve a high profile kidnapping. Highly recommended.
