QUARRY’S VIOLENT PAST COMES LOOKING FOR HIM

The professional hitman known as Quarry — star of the Cinemax TV miniseries of the same name — has put killing behind him.

Publisher Review

"[Quarry] still operates at a more ruthless clip than almost anyone he encounters. This is a sure-footed ending to a series that marinated in the excesses of pure pulp."-New York Times "Smoothly written and fast paced"-Deadly Pleasures "Any fan of paperback-spinner noir, with plenty of blood spatter seasoned with a little interpersonal complexity, will have no trouble getting acclimated." - Booklist "Easy listening for readers whose preferred soundtrack is muffled gunfire." - Kirkus Reviews "A gripping fast-paced epilogue and so much fun ... This is one of the best Quarry books ever." - Pulp Fiction Review "A nostalgia fix and incredibly fresh and up-to-date, catching up with Quarry pushing 70 in a post-COVID existence ...a serving of more of that gritty tone and realism Collins fans will be accustomed to reading, with doses of violence and sleaze and sex typical of the series." - Borg
