What to expect

Crime fiction readers know Quarry—the ruthless killer for hire from Max Allan Collins’ acclaimed novels—but where did Quarry’s story start? For the first time ever, the bestselling author of Road to Perdition takes us back to the beginning, revealing the never-before-told story of Quarry’s first job: infiltrating a college campus and eliminating a professor whose affair with one of his beautiful young students is the least of his sins.

Critics Review

  • “Violent and volatile and packed with sexuality…classic pulp fiction.”

    USA Today
  • “As cool as an Eskimo Pie on a hot summer day and as sharp as a Ginsu knife.”

    Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
  • “An amalgam of hard sex, harder violence, bodily functions, and belly laughs, this fun, fast read will leave readers craving the next installment. Recommended.”

    Publishers Weekly
  • “Collins knows the terrain, mixing pulp-style action with just enough character building to keep us going. Great entertainment from a pro’s pro.”
