Product Description

Review

'If you are familiar with Quinlan's other fine work you will not be surprised to find yourself in his Elmore Leonard-esque criminal world, slightly translated into the near future. If you haven't had the pleasure, you have a treasure in store'

(Courier Mail, Australia )


Product Description

A gripping and twisting treat of a novel for fans of Tarantino and Elmore Leonard.

Handsome ladies' man Jonah Maxwell is working as a bounty hunter for El Gordo (the Fat One), who picked up his nickname from an admiring prostitute. Gordo has a plan: to catch a runaway felon who’s worth $250,000 to the City of New York. The guys are in hot pursuit of Davis Foester, a social misfit with a bad habit of murdering little old ladies, and a gift for his pursuers, when they come across Tyler Gant – Vietnam vet, weapons expert and secret serial killer. Foester is working on a murderous plot for Gant, and the attentions of Jonah and Gordo are seriously unwelcome. Trailing Foester to Key West, the two are set for a violent showdown on a houseboat on storm-tossed seas. Not just their own lives but those of Tyler Gant's countless targeted victims are at stake...

5.0 out of 5 stars THE TARANTINO OF BOOKS? YOU DECIDE, 22 Sep 2009
By J. R. Daniell "Avid Reader" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Hit (Paperback)
Is it like Tarantino like the synopsis says, yes I think it is. This has car chases, raging storms, some great laughs, twists and some brilliant crazy characters.
Really liking Quinlan's books. This time he has two bounty hunters, one good looking bored wife, two mad crazy villains, two lesbians and their dog. The ending to the book involves a explosion, guns, bodies, all set in a storm on a boat. Then add a double cross and not knowing who might survive at the end of the book, and it all adds up to a brilliant plot, well executed.
Try this and enjoy, I did and I hope others will to.
