The Hit by Patrick Quinlan
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 Foerster, a social misfit with a bad habit of murdering little old ladies, when they come across Tyler Gant - Vietnam vet, weapons expert and secret serial killer. Foerster is working on a murderous plot for Gant, and the attentions of Jonah and Gordo are seriously unwelcome. Trailing Foerster 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...
'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 futureIf you haven't had the pleasure, you have a treasure in store' Courier Mail, Australia 'The story cracks along at a terrific pace and the bad guys are first rate' Mail on Sunday
