Across 110th Street by Wally Ferris published in 1970

I am always wary to compare different art forms, nonetheless if memory serves, this good crime novel was made into a much better film elevated to excellent by the soundtrack, which I have on vinyl and used to play out. Reading the other reviews on Goodreads, I realised my memory of the film was imposing the feel of late 60s / early 70s New York on the text, whereas the author did not seem to have captured the times. However, I still enjoyed the book and look forward to a second watch of the film in the near future, having read the source novel.
