Why read it?
1 author picked Cop Hater as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really enjoyed the entire 87th Precinct series, wherein Ed McBain creates the American police procedural genre.
Cop Hater, the first in the series, is hard-hitting, fast-paced, filled with complex characters, and captures the essence of a cop’s soul while giving the reader a wonderful glimpse into the world of criminal investigations.
From Desmond's list on police procedurals with a flawed protagonist.
