Quarry by Max Allan Collins

A gritty crime noir that follows a disillusioned Vietnam veteran and former Marine sniper who drifts into work as a professional hitman, taking carefully planned assignments while wrestling with guilt, secrecy and the violent underside of 1970s America; the story tracks one tense assignment that pulls him deeper into organized crime, corrupt institutions and moral compromise as past trauma and present danger collide.
