Review title: Not for everyone, but good.
Product review: I'm still working through this book. I loved the Friends of Eddy Coyle, but as a follow-up, this is less engaging, more of a slog. About halfway through it, I realized, as did another reviewer, that what this book is really about is the way the Boston FBI managed to justify (to itself) keeping the murderous multiple felon Whitey Bulger active, and allowing him to get away with whatever he wanted to do. That arrangement has never been described in detail that I'm aware of. So here is Higgins' take on how the twisted ambitions of the FBI agents and the twisted characters they needed to deal with could have yielded up a situation like Whitey Bulger. And it's worth noting that the book is almost entirely not only in dialogue, but in *dialect*. Page after page of characters either talking or thinking. Very little action, but when it happens, it's convincing.
