The Contract Killers and A Hell of a Woman

I’m just finishing up Travelers book 11, now titled The Contract Killers. Here’s what the cover looks like.
Meanwhile, a thriller I read last month.
A Hell of a Woman by Jim Thompson (1953). Frank “Dolly” Dillon is a man with a bad job, bad marriage, and very few scruples. He’s angry and blames the world for the choices he’s made. When he sees the opportunity to steal a large sum of money and run away with a beautiful young woman, he concocts a plan that quickly spirals out of control.
This is a seriously hard-boiled noir crime thriller, which is the kind of book Thompson is famous for writing. In the 1980’s, there was renewed interest in his books because of their re-release by Black Lizard Press. I read several of them back then, but not this one. Now all his books are in Mulholland Classic editions, so they’re still available.
Happy reading!
