Story
=====
Steve Carella, Meyer Meyer, and Fat Ollie Weeks having been working the 87th
Precinct for more than 40 years, but they're still the top dicks in town for
devotees of Ed McBain's absorbing police procedurals.
When a pretty, red-haired, ex-military pilot is killed, the boys in blue blunder
around for a few chapters before they unmask her secret life as a drug courier.
By then the burglar who broke into Cass Ridley's apartment and stole the "tip"
she got for her last run has already tried to spend one of the $100 bills from
her stash, attracting the attention of the Secret Service. The "superbill" is
phony, and by the time Carella and his crew uncover the international
counterfeit ring behind it, McBain has notched up the action with a terrorist
plot to bomb Clarendon (read Carnegie) Hall, where an eminent Israeli violinist
is performing. There's also a conspiracy involving a publishing company whose
sales reps are so venal and violent you might think they were the creation of a
writer who blamed them when his last book failed to sell. Not so McBain, who
can't have too many complaints in that department.
His publisher's reps have been living well for decades on the commissions earned
on McBain's books (including those of Evan Hunter, his alter ego).
That he has kept this series going for so long without tricking up the plots,
turning his characters into stereotypes, or sacrificing their humanity is a
tribute to his authorial gifts: expert pacing, sharp-edged dialogue,
authenticity, wit, and confidence. The only thing getting old in this, his 51st
book in an evergreen series: the fictional convention that locates the 87th in a
place called Isola instead of midtown Manhattan, where it so clearly is set.

None of my postings are my work, many thanks to the original posters.
You cannot upgrade the sound quality by upgrading the bitrate.
The bitrate can be upgraded to any number but the sound quality will remain unaltered (and the size will increase).
Reducing the bitrate, which also can be done, will reduce both the size and the sound quality.
