Loading... The Rat on Fire (1981)by George V. Higgins
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]()
The late George V. Higgins was celebrated for his way with dialogue. His books presented various characters, usually Boston cops, lawyers and low lifes, talking about their careers committing or avoiding crime, and, whoosh, just like that, a whole book skyrocketed into the imagination. A handful of the Higgins treasures have recently been republished, and for readers with a craving to revisit the old master, or to introduce themselves for the first time, The Rat On Fire, is a good place to start.

It sometimes seems like a good idea to put a match to the problem you'd most like to be without. When it's a slum full of blacks who don't pay the rent and your building is insured, it's the best idea of all. But if you pay Jimmy and Leo to do it, you may find you've got another problem.
