A winding tale of suspicion and intrigue, George V. Higgins skillfully recounts the story of elusive Short Joey Mossi.
When detective sergeant Harry Dell’Appa went into enforced exile in the Berkshires to put an end to an ill-fated office romance, he didn’t expect to be called back to Boston so soon. But desperate times…so the saying goes, and head detective Brian Dennison is keen for Short Joey Mossi, a suspected mob exterminator, to be arrested once and for all. Dell’Appa is called in to assist detective Bob Brennan, an old rival of his, who despite knowing all there is to know about Mossi, has never apprehended him. The plot thickens and Dell’Appa learns time and time again of the primacy of Bomber’s Law: they always “do it for the money”.
In Bomber’s Law, Higgins operates on a captivating policy of “partial disclosure”, leaving the reader to piece together the plot, morsel by morsel.

From Publishers Weekly
"We did it for the money" is retired lawman Bomber Lawrence's explanation for any piece of bad behavior, and Higgins's latest feast of dialogue (after Defending Billy Ryan ) often illustrates Bomber's Law. Recalled to Boston after a 12-month exile in the Massachusetts sticks, sergeant Harry Dell'Appa replaces Bob Brennan on a stakeout of Short Joey Mossi, a reputed mob hit man on whom the police have as yet been unable to pin anything. Going through Brennan's file on Mossi, Dell'Appa finds it suspiciously light; longstanding mutual dislike between the two cops makes it easy for Harry to believe there's something fishy going on. The reason for their antagonism and the results of Dell'Appa's suspicions are revealed in Higgins's preferred style, which favors dialogue--or rather, monologues--over narrative descriptions. The simple, precise plot constantly gets lost in the author's urge to reproduce the exact cadences of his characters' speech; individual sentences are accurate, realistic and very well written, but the endless digressions and stories within the story are rambling and undramatic, especially when compared to the dialogue that is directly plot-motivated. Still, with an author who uses monologues like arias to create atmosphere and character, plot naturally takes second place. Perhaps that's Higgins's Law: He did it for the dialogue. BOMC selection.

The hero of Higgins's 23rd mystery novel is Detective Sgt. Harry Dell'Appa, a sensitive investigator in his thirties who has returned to his Boston headquarters on special assignment after an enforced exile in the Berkshires designed to call a halt to his ill-fated office romance. Almost entirely through dialog, the reader comes to loathe Harry's partner, who's been tailing a hired mob killer for years with no apparent results. In a dramatic finale, we learn the reasons for Harry's puzzling inertia. Higgins comes through again with the subtle characterization and humor we expect; one wants to reread the book to savor the clues scattered here and there. Sure to satisfy the legions of Higgins fans and win new converts. BOMC main selection.

Remember diagramming sentences? A pedantic exercise, but one that taught us a lot about what goes into a sentence. If you were to diagram a conversation in this latest George Higgins' novel, you would learn a lot, too. Mostly, you'd see that when two of Higgins' people talk, they rarely stick to the subject--or that the subject isn't always what it seems to be. Gleaning information in Higgins' world is like gleaning information in life: nobody tells you the point straight out; you piece it together slowly, often learning more from the tangents a speaker follows than from any direct answers he or she might give. Take the matter of Short Joey Mossi, a gangster whom Boston cop Bob Brennan has been tailing for years. We learn through conversations between Brennan and his successor on the tail, Harry Dell'Appa, and between Harry and his boss, Brian Dennison, that all is not kosher with this investigation. Moreover, though, we learn about Harry's marriage, about the bad blood between Harry and Bob, about the nightmare of a house Brian is stuck with, and even about Short Joey's early career as a fighter. We change our minds several times about which characters we like and which we don't like, and in the end, we don't so much like or not like any of them as we come to accept that their actions are driven by a kind of sad inevitability. Bomber Lawrence, Brian's former boss, called it Bomber's Law: we do it for the money. That's a simple enough sentence, easy to diagram, but it doesn't really mean much until you add the subclauses and the interjections. Maybe that's the point of diagramming sentences and of reading Higgins: there's more to life than a subject and a verb. Bill Ott

George V. Higgins at his best!
By A Customer
George V. Higgins has earned his place as the Balzac of Boston, describing through the use of dialogue various low-level crooks, pols, lawyers, and other low life. No one can top him for a sense of the language, nor for the desperation in his characters. He really sets the pace in this genre. Bomber's Law is as good as it comes.

Drowning in chatter
By Donald Kahn
Maybe it's me. I thought The Friends of Eddie Coyle was a masterly novel, but twenty years later, this one drove me nuts. The long conversations are utterly unlifelike. I have never in my life heard conversations like these. And the windup is not worth the effort to get through to it.

A mess of gobbledy-gook
By Old Hawkeye
I don't care how many people tell me how great the writing of Higgins is, the plot here is paper thin and although his style is unique with the story unfolding through dialogue rather than narrative this is a mess. The few dramatic moments are peppered with the characters digressing about dogs that roll in stinky stuff and their wives going out to buy coffins. Yeah its supposed to be metaphorical, any fool know dat, but don't take my word for it. Here is one sentence from the book. "But Dell'Appa, his anger at Brennan now having receded sufficiently to permit him to think rationally about matters other (and more complex) than bashing Brennan in the teeth; having instantly perceived that this man, his short black hair graying at the temples under the White Sox black-wool cap shielding his happy face, was too white and too old ever to have been prudently allowed, "pastly, presently, or futurely" (as Dennison liked to say when split-infinitively-importuned "to just at least think, Okay?" about a transparently-stupid, cockeyed course of action he had quite rightly just summarily rejected--by saying: "not a chance"---and would never authorize, "unless first overtaken by a fit"), by anyone who loved him to risk having any mood like that in a public place, now gradually and belatedly realized that the man was too flat-out handicapped as well."
That's ONE sentence folks.
