A Novel of the 87th Precinct
Romance can be murder . . .
for Detective Bert Kling, who's worried that this new love outranks him in the police department;
for Chief Inspector Sharyn Cooke who's worried that Bert Kling is white;
for the cast of the new play, 'Romance', whose pretty but untalented lead actress Michelle Cassidy has been stabbed;
for Steve Carella, who has to find out who stabbed her.
