The Friends of Eddie Coyle is Higgin's best and an undisputed classic but he did a ton of other great books as well.

I'd also recommend the Spenser books by RBP.

If you are willing to give it a shot and you have 16 hours to kill, I'd recommend starting the series A Song of Ice and Fire. Guaranteed to keep you engaged.
If you are looking for a short read about small time crime in Boston and trying to sleep for 14.5 hours I'd recommend The Friends of Eddie Coyle.
Also if you have not read Ender's Game or the companion series Ender's Shadow this would be your other option. A fantastic sci-fi series, just realize that the author is kind of a dick.

The Friends of Eddie Coyle, one of the greatest Boston-based crime novels ever written.

I knew him when his first novel came out, before all the fame.

His favorite comic book series of all time is ''The Spirit''.

He had the meanest cat ever seen by man, and gigantic oscar fish.
He told me that this was his favorite book:
