does this ice axe murderer ring any bells?

Who was the good-selling (maybe even best-selling) mystery or police procedural novelist whose protagonist always ate dinner standing over his kitchen sink?
He would have been popular in the late 1970's and 1980's. If I recall correct his best known book had a plot about a serial killer who had three or four Manhattan murders where he walked up behind somebody and smashed them in the back of the head with a mountain climber's ice axe. If you know the title of that book also that would be really swell.
Thank you!

Not that it's who you are looking for (Delaney) but Robert Parker's Spencer ate over his sink periodically too. I think it's a tough guy/big sandwich thing.
