From the award-winning author of ROAD TO PERDITION,the new QUARRY novel continues the deadly story of the assassin who stars in the acclaimed Cinemax original seriesMemphis,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,star of the acclaimed series on Cinemax - can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the Sexual Revolution.

"Collins treats us to a wonderfully vivid look at the pornography industry in its heyday. From publishers tocenterfolds to strippers to feminist protesters,he cuts through the stereotypes with quick bits of subtlecharacterization (but,please,don't say you read a book with Climax in the title only for the characters)." - Booklist"Quintessential Collins and Quarry,a glorious mix of well-written action,humor,and sudden,unexpected,brutality." - Mystery Scene I've written abouttheQuarry booksseveral times... it remains my favorite Collins series. I think one ofthereasons I enjoy these books so much is because it meldstheheadlong pulpy momentum of Mickey Spillane withthegleefully transgressive sensibility of seventies trash paperback series likeTheExecutionerorTheLiquidator.But,y'know,better...Collins can plot a mystery; everything develops naturally andthepuzzle is always taxing without ever feeling contrived....I always enjoy seeing it done well and Collins does it better than most. I recommend alltheQuarry books and you can read them in most any order,but I enjoyed this one more than any of them sinceTheWrong Quarry.-AtomicJunkShop"fast paced and fun" - San Francisco Book Review & Seattle Book Reivew
