"Another bullseye for Higgins!" --"The New York Times" "Digger is so real that the next time you order a drink from a bartender, you'll look at him hard, wondering what he does on his days off."--"Los Angeles Times" "Higgins is one hell of a writer."--"Newsday " "Aspiring writers of any genre, not just legal suspense, would be wise to read lots of George Higgins." --John Grisham "Higgins deserves to stand in the company of the likes of Chandler and Hammett as one of the true innovators in crime fiction." --Scott Turow "Higgins can plot a whole book like one long chase scene. He can write dialogue so authentic it spits." --"Life" "The Balzac of the Boston underworld. ... Higgins is almost uniquely blessed with a gift for voices, each of them ... as distinctive as a fingerprint."--"The New Yorker" "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 "
'Flawless of its kind - never a false word, phrase, rhythm, gesture.' - The New Republic
Jerry 'Digger' Doherty is an ex-con and proprietor of a workingman's Boston bar, who supplements his income with the occasional 'odd job', like stealing live checks or picking up hot goods. His brother's a priest, his wife's a nag, and he has a deadly appetite for martinis and gambling.
On a trip to Vegas, the Digger finds himself in the sights of a loan shark known as 'The Greek'. Luckily - if you call it luck - the Digger has been let in on a little job that can turn his gambling debt into a profit, if only he can pull it off without getting himself killed.
