Description

Jackie Cogan is an enforcer for the New England mob. When a high-stakes card game is heisted by unknown hoodlums, Cogan is called in to 'handle' the problem. He moves expertly and ruthlessly among a variety of criminal hacks, hangers-on, and bigger-time crooks - a cast of misfits animated by George V. Higgins's hilarious, cracklingly authentic dialogue. With five consecutive shots from a Smith & Wesson thirty-eight Police Special, Cogan restores order to his corner of the underworld. This gripping tale is a masterclass in dialogue-driven storytelling, with Higgins's vivid portrayal of life on the wrong side of the law.
