Critics’ reviews

Praise for this book

"Rousing period pulp for those who miss the '80s or the glory days of men's magazines a generation earlier." - Kirkus Reviews

"The seventies backdrop, complete with cavorting and bloodletting at a former Playboy resort, only adds to the time-capsule ambience of this pulpy pleasure trip." - Booklist

"Irresistible...Newcomers and established fans alike will be happily drawn into Quarry's cold-blooded criminal world." - Publishers Weekly

"Vintage Collins, hard-hitting, heavy on the action, and utterly unsentimental." Mystery Scene

"got sex and violence and a taut suspenseful mystery at its core; if you like the other Quarry books you'll like this one" - Atomic Junkshop

"KILLING QUARRY is a very worthy addition to the series, answering many questions and leaving just enough unanswered to whet our appetite for the next adventure. Let's hope that next installment appears soon." --Bookgasm

"Raw violence and emotion mixed with strong characters that bleed hard and die fast. Quite a few people die fast, in fact. And that's just the way we like it." -GeekHardShow

"There are plenty of twists, turns and double- and triple-crosses as we head toward an explosive conclusion... At just under 200 pages, this instant classic has something for everybody." - BookReporter

"an excellent first introduction to Quarry, and the callbacks are sure to be appreciated by longtime readers as well" - Green Man Review

"Great fun, a solid retro fix, and true throwback to those action-packed, guns and sex pulp novels of the 1970s" - Borg.com

"A great addition to Hard Case Crime's list... it's really fun, fast-paced crime fiction" - Criminal Element
