Quarry's Blood

 

I really enjoy Max Allan Collins' Quarry books. This is supposedly the last one. We'll see!

Quarry, the contract killer, has been happily retired for decades, married and living a quiet life churning out "fiction" based on his kills. Unfortunately after his wife passes away, Quarry discovers he's a target: someone is trying to kill him. And the list of possible suspects is pretty long, considering all the people he's taken out over the years. 

It was a fun, quick read, even if it was a little unrealistic that a man in his 70s could still fight (and win) against men half his age. I supposed it's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities. At any rate, if it was Quarry's last tale it ended on a high note.
