For thirty years, Arthur McKeach and Nick Cistaro have masterminded a criminal empire in the Boston area, eluding capture at every turn, but now their secret is about to be revealed. 35,000 first printing.

Review: "At End of Day is a return to the form that made Higgins famous: the crime story, a tale of villains and compromised good guys. . . . It's a sin and a shame that George V. Higgins never won the Pulitzer Prize." -"Seattle Times" "The last novel of the late George V. Higgins shows no hint of failing skill or mellowing temper. The dialouge is as raffishly eloquent as ever, the action as disconcerting to the lawfully minded, and the author's underlying attitude what it has regularly been - a plague on all your houses." -"Atlantic Monthly" "All the famous ingredients are present - the pitch-perfect dialouge, the shaggy-dog monlogues, the lively mugs. . . . Always readable, always entertaining, the lowlife's Boswell - no one else was ever quite like him." -"The Philadelphia Inquirer" "At End of Day is a terrific and topical book that takes off from headlines . . . a return to the criminal milieu of The Friends of Eddie Coyle." -"The Boston Globe"
