And his last novel, Fiddlers, which was actually part of the 87th Precinct collection was published in , the year he passed away. Both these films became successful in France.

He carefully manipulated the members of the detective squad to suit his story-telling needs and introduced enough backstory to make each character relatable but not so much as to obscure the main police story.
At the core of all of the books are Carella, Meyer, Kling and company, in the squad room and on the streets, finding the bad guys and girls and keeping the residents of their section of Isola as safe from harm as they possibly can through the application of police process, procedure, dogged determination and the knowledge that luck and coincidence can be good friends to the detective.
