«Die Freunde von Eddie Coyle» is the crime novel by George V. Higgins, published by Goldmann in paperback (159 pages, in German).
Eddie Coyle is a small-time criminal facing prison for alcohol smuggling; to avoid it, he weighs collaborating with detective Dave Foley and informing on an arms dealer. In that world of double games, Higgins builds a crime novel with a realistic atmosphere and great dialogic force.
This German edition, published in 1989, belongs to the Goldmann Krimi collection; the novel originally appeared in 1971 as 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle'.
For readers of crime fiction who value dialogue and stories of ordinary criminals, with a style close to Elmore Leonard.
