|summary=Quarry, the hitman with little heart, returns in this hardboiled noir crime novel. He sets out to help a small town dance instructor with a price on their head, but ends up deeper than he imagined. With guns, killers and girls on the loose, Quarry might just be in his element.

To create a true anti-hero is no easy task. I have read plenty of crime fiction that reports to have an unlikable son of a gun at the centre of the story, but rarely are they actually that bad. You might get a detective with a gruff exterior, but a kind heart. Or perhaps a career criminal whose sense of morals are actually better than the cops. Thank goodness then for Max Allan Collin’s ''Quarry'' novels. Old school murder mysteries that have a hitman at their heart (usually pointing his gun at it).
