Higgins is the reason I started reading and writing crime
fiction a long time ago. And I love Elmore Leonard's forward
to a trade paper reprint of Eddie Coyle where he mentions how
many genius agents & publishers ignored the book and for
how long. Whenever I'm jammed for something, I reread Eddie
Coyle and it's like a wake-up call. That said, you gotta read
Boyos by Richard Marinick ... close as they come to Higgins
(and from the same area).

higgins is he he didn't write enough books
