Summary
WHO PUT QUARRY IN THE CROSSHAIRS?
Formerly a Marine sniper in Vietnam, the man known professionally as “Quarry” has spent the past decade killing for money, first in the service of an agent called the Broker, and then as a freelance hitman. But he’s always been on the right side of those contract kills — until now. It seems someone has taken out a contract on Quarry himself. But who? And why? And how does a mysterious woman from his past figure in? Quarry will find the answer — or die trying.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Rousing period pulp for those who miss the ‘80s or the glory days of men’s magazines a generation earlier.” - Kirkus Reviews “The seventies backdrop, complete with cavorting and bloodletting at a former Playboy resort, only adds to the time-capsule ambience of this pulpy pleasure trip.” - Booklist”Irresistible…Newcomers and established fans alike will be happily drawn into Quarry’s cold-blooded criminal world.” - Publishers Weekly
