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
