Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Cogan's Trade is the top-notch crime novel rated by the New Yorker as the âbestâ from âthe Balzac of the Boston underworld.â Crackling dialogue, mordant humor, and unremitting tension drive the suspenseful stakes of the game higher in Bostonâs precarious underworld of small-time mobsters, crooked lawyers, and political gofers as George V. Higgins, the writer who boiled crime fiction harder, tracks Jackie Coganâs career in a gangland version of law and order. For Cogan is an enforcer; and when the Mobâs rules get broken, he gets hired to ply his tradeâmurder. In the gritty, tough-talking pages of Higginsâs 1974 national best-seller, Cogan is called in when a high-stake card game under the protection of the Mob is heisted. Expertly, with a ruthless businessmanâs efficiency, a shrewd sense of other peopleâs weaknesses, and a style as cold as his stare, Cogan moves with reliable precision to restore the status quo as ill-conceived capers and double-dealing shenanigans erupt into high-voltage violence. âHiggins writes about the world of crime with an authenticity that is unmatched.ââJonathan Yardley, Washington Post
