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
George V. Higgins s mastery of the patois of the Boston criminal class is legendary. San Jose Mercury News"
