Havoc in the Hub brings to light the long-neglected work of George V. Higgins, revealing the wealth of intellectual, social, literary, and religious thought that underlies his 25 novels and numerous other works. Higgins's writing, fed by equal parts wit and sorrow, touches our senses, emotions, and minds. Peter Wolfe makes a resounding contribution to the study of this writer. Wolfe places Higgins's work in its geographical context and outlines the many sources from which Higgins drew during his highly productive career. The first in-depth examination of George V. Higgins, Havoc in the Hub will interest scholars, graduate students, and lovers of Higgins's work alike.

With this excellent study of Higgins, Peter Wolfe sustains, in his twentieth book, my judgment that he is the liveliest and wisest of crime fiction critics. His style and intellect were at high energy in his previous book on James Ellroy's shot-gun depiction of the sordid mysteries of Los Angeles. Wolfe adjusts his colorful style and delving intellect to do justice to Higgins' more controlled artistry and his objective analysis of Boston crime. I have followed Wolfe's work over four decades; I would follow him down any mean street he chooses.
