Bob Brennan is an old-school Boston cop who knows a lot about Short Joey Mossi, a mob hit man who's neatly taken care of at least eleven competitors. In fact, as Harry Dell'Appa, a hotshot detective recalled from banishment in the sticks, discovers, Brennan not only knows a lot, but he talks a lot, too - about who Joey's killed and about how and why. So why won't Brennan bring Joey in? That's what Harry has to find out.

Review:

"A league apart is Bomber's Law by George V. Higgins, one of the most accomplished novelists ever to write in the crime-fiction field."-The Wall Street Journal "A brilliantly funny depiction of small-timers, their scams and grudges."-The New York Daily News "Bomber's Law is one of Higgins's best books and plainly the work of a man who knows his craft inside and out . . . If the world were a just place (whaddya nuts?), this book would make Higgins a fortune and burnish his critical reputation forever."-Newsweek

Book Description:
