Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
George V. Higgins, the poet laureate of Bostons criminal underworld, has written such classics of the genre as Cogans Trade, At the End of the Day, and The Friends of Eddie Coylethe inspiration for the classic Robert Mitchum film. His dystopic Boston is filled with lowdown hoods, crooked fuzz, and ruthless crime bosses, all brought to life by Higginss trademark dialogue: a pitchperfect rendering of the criminal vernacular that hits as hard and cuts as deep as the brass knuckles and switchblades wielded by his creations. The Easiest Thing in the World is a riveting collection comprised of stories, film treatments, and two neverbeforepublished novellas. Its the kind of stuff weve come to expect from Higgins: tales of corruption and revenge, wrapped in sizzling dialogue and a wicked sense of humor. The Easiest Thing in the World is an indispensable addition to not only the Higgins library but also the canon of American crime fiction.
