WHERE DOES A HIT MAN DRAW THE LINE?
With a controversial presidential election just weeks away, Quarry is hired to carry out a rare political assignment: kill the Reverend Raymond Wesley Lloyd, a passionate Civil Rights crusader and campaigner for the underdog candidate. But when a hate group out of Ferguson, Missouri, turns out to be gunning for the same target, Quarry starts to wonder just who it is he’s working for.
Another critic’s take on Quarry - These pages practically turn themselves. I read it in one sitting and found myself longing to see how Mr. Collins was going to get Quarry into deeper misfortune and then yanked out again. Sure Quarry is another infuriating killer with a heart of gold (albeit a sliver at best lines his core), but less we forget, Mr. Collins started this series in the 1970s and gets a pass for being ahead of the curve when it comes to softening the heavy.
I like the realistic maturity level of his protagonist. Quarry is in tune with civil rights but homophobe backwards and routinely bullies his co-worker, Boyd, who he believes is gay. So not quite as progressive as many other authors would have drawn him to fit in with the enduring climate. Very much like being back in the 1970s.
(I like these ’70’s style book jackets)
