Rat on Fire [electronic resource]

Higgins, George V.2011
eBook
It sometimes seems like a good idea to put a match to the problem you'd most like to be without. When it's a slum full of blacks who don't pay the rent, and your buildings are all insured, then it's the best idea of all. But if you pay Jimmy and Leo to do it for you, you may find you've got another problem. One of the best loved titles from this American master of literary low life.
