Dead Street

More breathtaking suspense from MAX ALLAN COLLINS

THE LAST QUARRY

by MAX ALLAN COLLINS

QUARRY’S BACK–FOR HIS TOUGHEST JOB EVER

The ruthless professional killer known as Quarry long ago disappeared into a well-earned retirement. But now a media magnate has lured the restless hitman into tackling one last lucrative assignment. The target is an unlikely one: Why, Quarry wonders, would anyone want a beautiful young librarian dead?

And why in hell does he care?

On the 30th anniversary of the enigmatic assassin’s first appearance, bestselling author Max Allan Collins brings him back for a dark and deadly mission where the last quarry may turn out to be Quarry himself.

THE CRITICS LOVE THE LAST QUARRY:
