The start of a decades-long run of stellar crime novels about the eponymous main character—a hitman who does not suffer fools. Quarry takes his work seriously, and when the trust between the hitman and the handler is broken, he makes it his mission to track down the culprit.
Collins has spun the series into more than a dozen novels, comprising Quarry’s many assignments, his loves, and his struggles to find honor among criminals. What started in 1976 with this novel continues and shows no signs of letting up.
