Books by Max Allan Collins

First there was Max Allan Collins' legendary graphic novel...then came the Academy Award winning movie and his bestselling screenplay novelization. Now Collins presents an epic new novel, combining and expanding upon all that came before, to create the ultimate version of his unforgettable story.

Chicago, 1970, and expert marksman and Vietnam vet, Quarry receives the details of his latest target from The Broker. It's an assignment that will see his past as a U.S Marine sniper come back to confront him as his current and former lives collide.

There's Nothing More Dangerous Than a Loaded Magazine Memphis, 1975. "Raunchy" doesn't begin to describe Max Climer's magazine, Climax, or his all-hours strip club, or his planned video empire. And evangelists, feminists, and local watchdog groups all want him out of business. But someone wants more than that, and has hired a killer to end Max's career permanently. Only another hit man - the ruthless professional known as Quarry, star of the acclaimed series on Cinemax - can keep Climer from becoming a casualty in the Sexual Revolution.

Quarry's plan to target other hitmen for elimination hits a snag when he comes up against a deadly female assassin.

A rival sets out to take over the killing-for-hire business, and Quarry finds himself in the crosshairs.

When a murder-for-pay assignment goes horribly wrong, Quarry sets out to find out who hired him - and take revenge.

Quarry is a pro in the murder business. When the man he works for becomes a target himself, Quarry is sent South to remove a traitor in the ranks. But in this wide-open city - with sin everywhere, and betrayal around every corner - Quarry must make the most dangerous choice of his deadly career: who to kill?

Happily retired, Quarry turns down a million dollars to asassinate a presidential candidate. But it's not the sort of job you can just walk away from...

It's not unusual to see bodies on the set of an adult film, but when they're dead bodies, Quarry has his work cut out for him.

Hammer accompanies a politician to Moscow, where he is arrested by the KGB and imprisoned. He quickly escapes, but back in the States, the government is none too happy. Russia demands his return to stand charges, and various government agencies are following him.

When two Godfathers set out to bump each other off, guess who winds up with both contracts. This title presents a tale of warring crime families.

Presents a story of Quarry's first job: infiltrating a college campus and eliminating a professor whose affair with one of his beautiful, young students is the least of his sins.

Dr. Temperance Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline, has an uncanny ability to read clues left behind in a victim's bones.

Even the enigmatic hit man called Quarry had to start somewhere. And for him that was the day he returned from Vietnam to find his young wife cheating. He'd killed plenty overseas, so killing her lover was no big deal. When he was recruited to use his skills as a contract killer, that transition was easy, too.
