The Rat on Fire (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

The Rat on Fire (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

A riveting, blistering hot novel about the shady side of the law and the business side of the Boston underworld by the one and only George V. Higgins.
Â
Jerry Fein is a small-time lawyer, occasional booking agent, and full-time slumlord. But heâ‚¬s nobodyâ‚¬s fool. So when the tenants of his dilapidated buildings refuse to pay rent because of rats, Jerry knows just the man to help himâ‚¬"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, and a couple of cops are suddenly feeling pressure from their superiors to produce, and something has got to give.
Â
Full of hardnosed cops and lawyers a little too familiar with both sides of the law, The Rat on Fire is another Higgins masterpiece and an unflinching portrait of the Boston crime world.Â Â
