The Edward Koch mystery series consists of four novels published between 1995 and 1998, ghostwritten by Wendy Corsi Staub. The books feature the real-life former New York City mayor as a fictional detective investigating murders at iconic New York locations, from City Hall to Broadway to 34th Street.
The series is a curiosity in Staub’s bibliography. Celebrity-fronted mystery series were popular in the 1990s, and these books use Koch’s public persona and knowledge of New York as the hook. The mysteries are set against the backdrop of New York City politics and landmarks.
