87th Precinct

1961-1962

Manhattan’s 87th precinct forms the backdrop for this grim and gritty American crime and police drama based on the long-running series of novels by Ed McBain. The storylines focus on neighborhood crime, and the lives of the officers of the 87th and their families: Det. Steve Carella (Robert Lansing) and his deaf/mute wife; rookie Det. Bert Kling (Ron Harper); long-time veteran Det. Roger Havilland (Gregory Walcott) and the wryly philosophical Det. Meyer Meyer (Norman Fell).
