Quotes

“Collins’ witty, hard-boiled prose in The Last Quarry would make Raymond Chandler proud.” Entertainment Weekly

“Fans of Collins will be delighted to find him resurrecting Quarry…This novel covers a lot of ground in a small space—a credit to the distinct, wry voice Collins has given Quarry, who doesn’t waste anything, least of all words…Compact enough to be read in a couple of sittings but bristling with suspense and sexuality.” Publishers Weekly

“Fans of classic pulp fiction will be spellbound by the no-nonsense Quarry, an antihero who mixes irony, violence, and a lingering touch of humanity in just the right proportions…Collins never misses a beat…All the stand-up pleasures of dime-store pulp with a beguiling level of complexity.” Booklist
