  • "In Markie Trattmanns Hinterzimmer wird Poker gespielt, illegal und um hohe Einsätze, protegiert von der Bostoner Mafia. Als zwei nicht besonders clevere Kleinkriminelle die Runde überfallen und mit der Beute unerkannt entkommen, müssen die Spiele ausgesetzt werden. Das gefällt niemandem, denn es geht um viel Geld. Die Mafia setzt Jackie Cogan, als Profikiller der Beste seines Fachs, auf die beiden an, doch Cogan wird es nicht leicht gemacht. Die Bürokratie und Unentschlossenheit des Syndikats rauben ihm den letzten Nerv, und der Kollege, den Cogan für den Job hinzugezogen hat, entpuppt sich als sexbesessener und unzuverlässiger Säufer. Aber Jackie Cogan nimmt seinen Job wirklich ernst ... George V. Higgins wurde am 13. November 1939 in Brockton, Massachusetts, geboren. Er war Staatsanwalt, eröffnete später seine eigene Anwaltskanzlei und vertrat unter anderem den Watergate-Verschwörer G. Gordon Liddy und den Black Panther Eldrigde Cleaver. Der "Balzac der Bostoner Unterwelt" schrieb mehr als zwanzig Romane. Er starb 1999."
  • "Jackie Cogan is an enforcer, and when the mob's rules get broken, Cogan is called in to take care of business. This time a high-stakes card game has been held up by an unknown gang of thugs. Calculating, ruthless, businesslike, and with a shrewd sense of other people's weaknesses, Cogan plies his trade, moving among a variety of hoods, hangers-on, and big-timers, tracking those responsible, and returning "law and order" to the lawless Boston underworld."@en
  • ""Jackie Cogan is an enforcer for the New England mob. When a high-stakes card game is heisted by unknown hoodlums, Cogan is called in to 'handle' the problem. Moving expertly and ruthlessly among a variety of criminal hacks, hangers-on, and bigger-time crooks--a classic cast of misfits animated by Higgins's hilarious, cracklingly authentic dialogue--Cogan gets to the root of the problem and, with five consecutive shots from a Smith & Wesson thirty-eight Police Special, restores order to his corner of the Boston underworld."--P. [4] of cover."@en
  • "Enkele gangsters hebben een gokhuis in Boston overvallen en proberen dan uit handen te blijven van de plaatselijke onderwereld, die een dergelijke inmenging niet duldt."
