Synopsis

Memphis, 1975. “Raunchy” doesn’t begin to describe Max Climer’s magazine, Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire. And evangelists, feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business. But someone wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max’s career permanently. Only another hit man—the ruthless professional known as Quarry—can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the Sexual Revolution.

Goodreads review by Josh on February 09, 2018

I killed him. You murdered him. From the outset, Max Allan Collins establishes his Parker-like character, in hit-man Quarry as a methodical ice cold killer who fears nothing of bringing death to those he's been contracted to do so. A blistering opening sequence in an airport which ultimately sees Qua......more

By the time we get to the 1970s there’s been a real change in the character of tough guy American fiction.

Goodreads review by Mike (the Paladin) on June 11, 2020

Quarry is not a nice person. He's a competent person at what he does, maybe even gifted. What does he do? Oh, he kills people. Now Quarry is a pro and he does what he does. He's not interested in being involved in drugs or any other "line of work" and he's really not interested in being used, not eve......more
