Story
=====
"Heat" is a typically energetic 87th Precinct page-turner in which, atypically, the main mystery of the story becomes secondary to a riveting subplot. If not for the fact readers of the McBain crime procedural series have developed a bond with the 87th Precinct detectives, this narrative imbalance might pose more of a problem. Instead, it works well, sneaking up and pulling on your attention like a treacherous undertow.
Bert Kling has a problem. He's married to a beautiful model, only now he is aware there may be more going on in her life than he previously knew. A comment by a drunk girl at a party makes him wonder if she's having an affair, and Kling eventually decides to use his detective skills to find out, despite warnings from his partner, Steve Carella, to talk it out with her instead.
McBain was beginning to carve out some exciting new ground for the 87th Precinct, in terms of the lives of the characters and the city they serve, and the 1980s would see many of the best novels in the series, like "Ice," "Poison," "Tricks," and "Lullaby." If "Heat" isn't quite in their category, it still is a standout for its probing treatment of Kling and his marital torments, an overture for the deeper psychodramas to come.

None of my postings are my work, many thanks to the original posters.
You cannot upgrade the sound quality by upgrading the bitrate.
The bitrate can be upgraded to any number but the sound quality will remain unaltered (and the size will increase).
Reducing the bitrate, which also can be done, will reduce both the size and the sound quality.
