One of the previous Quarry novels involved him infiltrating a gonzo porn movie set and that was less horny than this one. But this was still a fun, quick, hard-boiled read.
It's funny to me that Max Allan Collins invented Quarry as a direct homage to Richard Stark's Parker (if he can make a successful series about an unrepentant thief, can I go even darker and make one about an unrepentant assassin?) and yet Quarry has always been the more introspective and emotional of the two. He's a far cry from a killer with a conscious or a heart of gold, but there is a depth to him that keeps me coming back.
