Shotgun

Description for SHOTGUN by Ed McBain: A PAIR OF FACELESS BODIES A shotgun fired at long range can really do a job on you. but when it's fired point-blank in your face, what's left is enough to sicken anyone---even a cop. A Psycho has butchered a nice young couple---and he was loose somewhere in the 87th Precinct. He had a name, an address, an identity: Walter Damascus, a third-rate lothario who lied his women well off, well built, and---apparently---dead, along with their husbands. Sooner or later he would surface, and the men of the 87th would be waiting---for the biggest shock of their careers! This is #23 in An 87th Precinct Mystery.
