Editorial Reviews

"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
