Quarry's List - Tapa blanda

Max Allan Collins, the author of many crime and detective novels, has been nominated fifteen times for the Shamus award for best private-eye fiction and has won twice with two historical novels featuring Nate Heller. He created he graphic novel on which the Oscar-winning film Road to Perdition was based. But long before Heller,and long before Perdition, when Collins was a student at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop, he created Quarry, the assassin-for-hire who quickly became a cult favorite among fans of hard-boiled fiction.

Killer-for-hire Quarry is trying to lie low when he gets a midnight visit from two other gunmen sent by an old associate. Someone wants Quarry off the scene--for keeps. Back in print, this early crime novel by the author of The Road to Perdition shows once again that nobody is harder-boiled than Quarry. With a new Afterword by the author.
