What They're Saying
Critics Review
Aspiring writers of any genre, not just legal suspense, would be wise to read lots of George Higgins. - John Grisham
Higgins can plot a whole book like one long chase scene. He can write dialogue so authentic it spits. - LifeThe 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 YorkerAbout The Author
George V. Higgins
George V. Higgins was assistant DA in Boston before becoming a defense attorney and then a full-time writer. Described as ‘the Balzac of Boston’ and ‘the poet of Boston sleaze’ he wrote over thirty books, including a handful of lowlife masterpieces constructed almost entirely of pitch-perfect dialogue. He died in 1999.
