Description

The hitman hero of the acclaimed series Quarry on Cinemax returns for his final fight. By Quarry's creator, the award-wining author of Road to Perdition! At the very end of his bloody, clandestine career, the professional hitman known as Quarry - star of the Cinemax TV miniseries of the same name - receives a visit from a beautiful young woman who seems to have uncovered all his carefully hidden secrets. But what does she want? To expose him? To blackmail him? To get him to come out of retirement to kill someone for her? This brand new installment in Hard Case Crime's longest-running series -- the final installment in the chronology, taking place even after THE LAST QUARRY - will give readers a thrilling look at the last act of Quarry's professional life.

Reviews
"[Quarry] still operates at a more ruthless clip than almost anyone he encounters. This is a sure-footed ending to a series that marinated in the excesses of pure pulp."-New York Times

"Smoothly written and fast paced"-Deadly Pleasures

"Any fan of paperback-spinner noir, with plenty of blood spatter seasoned with a little interpersonal complexity, will have no trouble getting acclimated." - Booklist

"Easy listening for readers whose preferred soundtrack is muffled gunfire." - Kirkus Reviews

"A gripping fast-paced epilogue and so much fun ... This is one of the best Quarry books ever." - Pulp Fiction Review

"A nostalgia fix and incredibly fresh and up-to-date, catching up with Quarry pushing 70 in a post-COVID existence ...a serving of more of that gritty tone and realism Collins fans will be accustomed to reading, with doses of violence and sleaze and sex typical of the series." - Borg

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
