My first Ed Mc Bain mystery in years. I wanted to see how he measured up to contemporary crime writers. He writes well, lots of description and detail but the story seems dated, about the murder of a writer, an innocent passerby, and the writer's agent. Detective Steve Carella's discovery of the murderer depends on a psychic, the writer's girlfriend, Hilary Scott, thus the title. A bit silly I thought.
