THE CRIME FICTION CLASSIC: Meet Quarry—an ex-Marine sniper and hired killer with a taste for justice—in this “fast-paced, sexy, violent, and entertaining” series kick-off (BookReporter).

Once a Marine sniper, Quarry found a new home stateside with a group of contract killers. But some men aren't made for taking orders - and when Quarry strikes off on his own, god help the man on the other side of his nine-millimeter...
