Jerry Fein is a small-time lawyer, occasional booking agent, and full-time slumlord. But he’s nobody’s fool. So when the tenants of his dilapidated buildings refuse to pay rent because of rats, Jerry knows just the man to help him: Leo Proctor, a professional arsonist who can make a fire marshal look the other way for a little cash. But the heat is on over at the police station as well. A couple of cops are suddenly feeling pressure from their superiors to produce, and something has got to give.

Story4 out of 5 stars 12
They were a handful of leftover student radicals from the turbulent 60's - brilliant renegade children of affluence, financing their reign of urban terror through a series of daring armored car robberies. For nearly a decade they avoided capture, until justice finally triumphed in the wake of a brutal mass murder in downtown Boston. But for the killers' families, the police, the obsessed young Assistant D.A., and the city itself, the nightmare was far from over.... It had only just begun.

Publisher's Summary
Internationally-acclaimed author George V. Higgins—a master of action and suspense—continues his gripping series in 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 out-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.

Trapped On A Bus
Imagine a 1500 hundred mile bus ride, seated in a window seat, moving 5 miles an hour through stop and go traffic, at night, next to a stranger in the aisle seat who talks without stopping about whatever random subject floats to the surface of his alleged brain -- his mother-in-law's mortgage payments, the ethics of lottery sales, the price of beans -- and who speaks in sentences so long, filled with asides, circumlocutions, analogies and repetitive emphases that you have long since forgotten the sentence's subject by the time its end arrives -- and you have an inkling of listening to this book.
I'm a George Higgins fan, but this must be his version of "Waiting for Godot," perhaps on a dare to break the world record for most topics raised discussed between two characters without ever advancing the plot. Hammer is a good reader for Higgins, but he is wasted: you just want the pain to stop.

Very disappointed
The reader was hard to understand. The book should be titled death of a salesman for cops.
