An excellent hard-boiled tale that takes place in the early 70s in the Boston area. I found the book a quick read filled with authentic-sounding criminal dialog. Higgins was an assistant DA at one time and it's clear that he knew a lot about crime and the criminals that performed them. It was also nice that he mentioned a number of real-life locations like the Red Coach Grill in Braintree, Ma.
