When retired hitman Quarry turns down a million bucks to murder a presidential candidate, he becomes a loose end that the conspirators need to tie off. With his peaceful life in ruins, Quarry launches his own campaign--for vengeance. A new edition, with afterword by the author, of the fifth book in Max Allan Collins's cult classic series. They don't come harder-boiled than Quarry. Violent and volatile and packed with sexuality . . . classic pulp fiction (USA Today).
Max Allan Collins, noted both for his Nate Heller detective series and as creator of Road to Perdition (basis for the Oscar-winning Tom Hanks film), has been writing about killer-for-hire Quarry for more than thirty years. Says Booklist: Collins remains the quintessential modern-day pulp writer.
