Higgins chronicles Kennedy's latest battles in the courtroom and beyond, as his roster of morally compromised clients, corrupt officials, and street-level criminals forces him to question the cost of a career spent defending the indefensible. Written in Higgins's signature style — razor-sharp dialogue that crackles with authenticity — the novel presents a vivid portrait of Boston's legal underworld, where loyalty is transactional and justice is rarely clean. Cynical, witty, and unflinchingly honest, it stands as a masterclass in character-driven crime fiction from one of America's most distinctive voices in the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887948738779,"sku":"2026100005001-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b0a03530-f20e-41cf-8019-1d43fcf7addc.png?v=1781750315","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005001-secondhand-penance-for-jerry-kennedy","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
