Quarry

Quarry

Last month I read Quarry, the first of the Quarry series by Max Allan Collins (2015). Quarry is the alias of a contract killer who works for a man he knows only as “the Broker.” He’s an ask-no-questions, get-the-job-done kind of guy, similar in a way to Parker, the Richard Stark thief.

On this outing, he’s sent to a small Iowa town on the Mississippi River to murder a man who seems to be an innocuous nobody, but when the job blows up, he’s on the trail to discover who double-crossed him.

Tight plotting, carefully drawn characters, and suspense-filled action make for a fun read.

Happy reading!
