Hit List

John Keller is a generally good guy if a bit boring. An ordinary looking fellow, he lives in New York City where he spends his time working on his stamp collection and for the most part enjoying a quiet life. But every now and then he takes a trip out of town and kills someone. You see, in addition to being an ordinary Joe, Keller is a professional hit man.
In this second Keller book, Keller continues his life without any major disturbances until he breaks his own rule against working in his home town and takes a job in New York City. Then things turn strange. When Keller is out on jobs sometimes seemingly unrelated people are killed by a third party, and sometimes his targets die before he gets to them. It soon becomes apparent that Keller himself has become a target. It becomes hit man vs hit man. Who will survive?
Another good crime-fiction novel from Lawrence Block. He never disappoints. Solid 4 stars.
