Killing Quarry

Description

The hitman hero of the acclaimed series Quarry on Cinemax returns with an all-new assignment. By Quarry's creator, the award-wining author of Road to Perdition! WHO PUT QUARRY IN THE CROSSHAIRS? Formerly a Marine sniper in Vietnam, the man known professionally as "Quarry" has spent the past decade killing for money, first in the service of an agent called the Broker, and then as a freelance hitman. But he's always been on the right side of those contract kills - until now. It seems someone has taken out a contract on Quarry himself. But who? And why? And how does a mysterious woman from his past figure in? Quarry will find the answer - or die trying.

Max Allan Collins is the author of Road to Perdition, the acclaimed graphic novel that inspired the movie, and of the multiple-award-winning Nathan Heller series of historical hardboiled mysteries. Max Allan Collins is one of most prolific and popular authors working in the field today. He is also the literary executor of Mickey Spillane.
