About this product

Product Information

George V. Higgins' seminal crime novel is a down-and-dirty tale of thieves, mobsters and cops on the mean streets of Boston. When small-time gunrunner Eddie Coyle is convicted on a felony, he's looking at three years in the pen - that is, unless he sells out one of his big-fish clients to the DA. But which of the many hoods, gunmen, and executioners whom he calls his friends should he send up the river? Told almost entirely in crackling dialogue by a vivid cast of lowlifes and detectives, THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE is one of the greatest crime novels ever written.

  • Worth the wait.

    Having wanted to read this book for many years I thought it may not live up to expectations. This was not the case. An excellent study of the interwoven life of criminals and law enforcement. Will be rereading it very soon. If you enjoy Elmore Leonard and George pelecanos this should bring you joy.
