Recenzii
Higgins deserves to stand in the company of Chandler and Hammett as one of the true innovators in crime fiction
Higgins is almost uniquely blessed with a gift for voices, each of them ... as distinctive as a fingerprint.
The dialogue is everything, Runyonesque, dripping with lovely sewage
Every American crime writer of the past 30 years owes a debt to George V Higgins. Higgins is the daddy. Read him and rejoice

Textul de pe ultima copertă
He was a slumlord and lawyer and nobody's fool-and neither were the tenants who lived in Jerry Fein's rotting buildings. They weren't paying rent-why should they when the rats lived there for free?
