About the Author

Max Allan Collins created killer-for-hire Quarry almost forty years ago as a student at the University of Iowa Writers Workshop. An admirer of Donald Westlake's Parker novels, Collins decided to go Westlake one better, featuring a first-person narration not by a mere criminal but by a professional hitman. The result is a cult favorite among fans of hard-boiled fiction. The first five titles in the long-running series are being reissued by Perfect Crime Books, with new introductions by the Author. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
