The assailant has a peculiar habit: he bows and utters, “Clifford thanks you, madam,” after each attack. The situation escalates when one victim lands in the hospital and another is found dead. The 87th Precinct detectives, including officer Bert Kling, are on a mission to apprehend him. The narrative skillfully intertwines a string of muggings with the murder of a young girl, offering a riveting insight into the investigative procedures of the 87th Precinct detectives.
