The night after Christmas and all through the house, it was colder than fuck And so begins the first story about Quarry the hitman who gets recruited by the Broker. he has a simple job kill a professor and destroy his manuscript for a future book.
Quarry came back from Vietnam and found his wife under another man who died under his automobile after kicking away the jack, Quarry showed some talent. He did not get any prison but a visit from a man who offered him a job. And so begins his first job. It will not be as easy as the Broker sold it and it is the quick on his feet thinking and reacting Quarry that will save the girl and his behind.
A quick and satisfying read by Max Allan Collins, this series based in the seventies is a hoot and half and certainly not very PC in content. But I guess that was the world back then and even if Collins wrote the book around 2008 he does manage to deliver a decent working environment in the 70's. People with a sensitive disposition should not be reading this series. Its cover is already a giveaway about the content.
