Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Corrupt, city-hardened characters vie for money and power, are ruled by destiny and are driven to tragic ends. "The plot, complicated yet thin, will disappoint Higgins devotees," lamented PW.

Earl Beale never could get things right. Not when he was a college basketball player shaving points; not even after he got out of the can. Earl tried, but his character was against him. And now he's mixed up with Jimmy Battaglia, and "Battles" doesn't like guys like Earl.

How (not) to sell used cars and other small crime,
By F. Wiersma - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trust (Hardcover)
Another great story from the master. I've never better read a better description of the process of selling a used car - no wonder that used car salesreps have such a bad reputation! Hilarious, and tragic as well. And this is only part of the whole story. The title refers to trust that is also a necessary condition in the criminal world - though with harsher consequences when trust is broken...Utterly enjoyable - I've read it at least 4 times now. 1 of 4 people found the following review helpful
