One of the great crime writers of the twentieth century. Kansas City Star
Higgins writes about the world of crime with an authenticity that is unmatched. --The Washington Post
A uniquely gifted writer . . . who does at least as well by the Hogarthian Boston he knows as Raymond Chandler once did for Southern California. The New York Times
"Superb. . . Higgins is a complete novelist. His work will be read when the work of competing writers has been forgotten." Chicago Daily News
"Brilliant. . . Higgins is a master stylist."--New York Post

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
