Levine

'Levine' is an episodic saga, a series of six novellas (including one written expressly for this volume) laying open for examination the life of a Brooklyn copy, a man dedicated to his job and living in constant fear of the moment when his ailing heart will finally stop. Each of the stories is a gem of police procedure and pits Levine against the full assortment of activities which makes up a policeman's lot - from talking a jumper off a ledge to dealing with a child who believes her mother to be a murderer to facing a Mob gunman on a deserted spit of land. With every step Levine takes, with e very confrontation, he listens to the sound of his own heart - to judge his actions as well as to recording the missing beats, waiting for the one he won't hear.
