The late Mr. Higgins' material was not gimmicky material; no zombies, no talking dogs, no superheroes. This is gritty, Boston politics showing how people can become victims of circumstances beyond their control. The Justice Department official, Harry Dodge, has political ambitions and he believes that putting the squeeze on road contractor, Ken Farley, will help him meet his goals. Questionable behavior permeates this work. Nothing seems clear-cut. Sometimes I rooted for a character while, other times, I wanted the person to get some form of comeuppance. The ones, however, who really take it on the chin are prosecutors who keep beating the branches in hopes of something glorious falling into their hands. These are real people with everyday problems who are just trying to muddle along. Mr. Higgins was so good with writing very believeable dialogue, I had to keep reminding myself that this book was fiction. Read a true master of his craft. This book is one of my favorites.
