The Deaf Man is back! In his first appearance since 'Eight Black Horses' in 1985,the nemesis of the 87th returns with a vengeance.
Zeroing in on Steve Carella,his favourite foil, he bombards the squadroom with directives that seem to describe in detail exactly what he's up to this time - but not quite.What he's planning is his most devilish million-dollar caper to date.
In the squadroom,an otherwise slow March night is enlivened by the murder of a graffiti writer under a highway bridge. Over the course of several weeks,more of the city's outlaw artists are killed
under mysterious circumstances,and a team run by Detective Parker begins to the pieces together.
Meanwhile,a new criminal activity surfaces: Someone is abandoning helpless elderly men and women at different locations around the city.
As if all this weren't enough,racial tensions in the city are at an all-time high.While pressure mounts on various fronts,the city announces a free rap concert in the park,set for a day in the very near future.
As the shattering finale of 'Mischief' looms,seemingly unrelated developments intertwine in an ending that sets a new standard even for McBain's most discerning fans.
