About this listen

George V. Higgins, the internationally-acclaimed grand master of crime fiction, returns to thrill listeners with this riveting tale of cops, robbers, and big city low life. An expertly crafted story of loyalty and betrayal, it is peppered with wonderfully authentic dialogue and seedy black-market atmosphere.

Eddie Coyle is a small-time gun dealer with a big-time problem: who to sell out to avoid going to prison. While mob bosses, cops, hoods, gunmen, thieves, and executioners give Eddie plenty of choices, he has few options. Any decision could cost him his life.

Shady deals and accusations fly as fast and deadly as bullets in this riveting audiobook. The combination of Higgins and narrator Mark Hammer will leave you with mental images of crime and justice that you never thought possible before.

Best

Best Crime Book ever written. Totally unique. Good luck trying to find another author like Higgins. David Peace 1970s novels is perhaps the closest. Peace being a poor man’s Higgins (overstyled, comic book like, but still some good dialogue, monologue, descriptions). Higgins is dark years ahead of all his peers.

hard to follow, voices too similar. quite boring

the narrator does good voices, but left me confused because they were all too similar. too many names to keep straight. Difficult to follow and stay focused on and I usually don't have that problem with audiobooks. story was presented quite boringly. It was a waste of my credit :( Didn't even other finishing the last 20 minutes of it.
