Bomber's Law Higgins' riveting style enlivens this tale of cops and mobsters set in a world of fast-talking wise guys and heavily-armed exiles from Palookaville. When Brian Dennison succeeds "Bomber" Lawrence as head detective in the Massachusetts State Police Department, he soon realizes that Boston's upwardly-mobile mobsters aren't going to let him hang around until retirement age. Can Dennison our-smart the mob, or will Bomber's Law claim him as another victim? Higgins' critically-acclaimed books---including Sandra Nichols Found Dead and The Friends of Eddie Coyle---are filled with rich characters and gut-wrenching dialogue. Veteran narrator Mark Hammer's resonant and gravelly voice brings each character to life with an intensity that only Higgins' writing can match. "This may be the ultimate Higgins novel... nothing short of amazing."---Kirkus Reviews (from backcase)

George V. Higgins at his best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bomber's Law: A Novel (Paperback)
George V. Higgins has earned his place as the Balzac of Boston, describing through the use of dialogue various low-level crooks, pols, lawyers, and other low life. No one can top him for a sense of the language, nor for the desperation in his characters. He really sets the pace in this genre. Bomber's Law is as good as it comes.

Drowning in chatter,
By Donald Kahn (London England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bomber's Law: A Novel (John MacRae Books) (Paperback)
Maybe it's me. I thought The Friends of Eddie Coyle was a masterly novel, but twenty years later, this one drove me nuts. The long conversations are utterly unlifelike. I have never in my life heard conversations like these. And the windup is not worth the effort to get through to it.
