 | At End of Day by George V. Higgins
Higgins' 30th and final novel before his death in 1999 is the story of south Boston gangsters Nick Cistaro and Arthur McKeath and their unique friendship with FBI agents Jack Farrier and Darren Stoat. While much of the novel reveals the not-so-subtle tip-offs the four dish out to each other during their regular dinner meetings, several subplots, which involve a crippled Vietnam veteran who's planning a pharmaceutical scam, a foolish antique dealer who finds he must pay the consequences after dismissing a gang of loan sharks, and a policeman's son recently employed as a mob gofer, contribute to this tale of bleak underworld intrigue.
