Description

NOW A MAJOR TELEVISION SERIES! The assignment was simple: stake out the man's home and kill him. Easy work for a professional like Quarry. But when things go horribly wrong, Quarry finds himself with a new mission: learn who hired him, and make the bastard pay. The longest-running series from Max Allan Collins, author of Road to Perdition, and the first ever to feature a hitman as the main character, the Quarry novels tell the story of a paid assassin with a rebellious streak and an unlikely taste for justice. Once a Marine sniper, Quarry found a new home stateside with a group of contract killers. But some men aren't made for taking orders - and when Quarry strikes off on his own, god help the man on the other side of his nine-millimetre...

"Collins makes us root for Quarry, or he draws us so completely into Quarry's world that rooting for anybody becomes beside the poin." - Booklist "It's got old school action and a fast paced energy that makes it hard to even think about putting the book down." - Geek Hard "Pick up "Quarry" by Max Allan Collins if you want a quick, squirmy read, sure to entertain you as well as any classic pulp shoot-em-up." - Noir Whale "The Quarry series is fast-paced, sexy, violent and entertaining." - BookReporter "Pulpishly brutal and clever, Quarry makes for an addictive introduction to one of crime fiction's most enduring and engaging hard-boiled sociopaths. Long may this amoral son-of-a-bitch run . . ." - BlogCritics
