About This Item

New York: MJF Books, 2006. S2 - A first printing hardcover book SIGNED by Jeff Abbott, Raymond Benson, Reed Farrel Coleman, William Kent Krueger, David Morrell, on their respective story page in very good condition in very good dust jacket that is mylar protected. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Thirty-one of the best damn crime stories ever, written by: Jeff Abbott, Raymond Benson, Lawrence Block, Jay Bonansinga, Ken Bruen, Reed Farrel Coleman, Max Allan Collins, Sean Doolittle, David Ellis, John Galligan, Victor Gischler, Ed Gorman, Mitchell Graham, Jeremiah Healy, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Julie Hyzy, Rob Kantner, J. A, Konrath, William Kent Krueger, Benjamin M. LeRoy, Lisa Mannetti, David Morrell, Monica J. O'Rourke, P. J. Parrish, M. J. Rose, Marcus Sakey, Jeff Strand, Paul A. Toth, Robert W. Walker, and Brian M. Wiprud. 8.5"x5.75", 438 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. There's nothing more cold-blooded than committing murder for money. But it's all just a day's work for the hitmen, assassins, bounty hunters, snipers, mobsters, and mercenaries in These Guns for Hire, a riveting collection of 31 short stories about one of the most fascinating characters in all of literature - the professional killer. These hitmen are chillingly ruthless, yet oddly sympathetic. They're monsters, but with a human face. They kill for cash, but are they villains or heroes? This pulse-pounding anthology features some of the best writers in the mystery thriller genre. They know that living inside the head of a killer for a few pages can be a frighteningly exhilarating experience, and they pull out all the stops to ensure that this is one thrill ride you'll never forget. It's all here. Some stories are hardboiled noir (Ed Gorman, Jeff Abbott, Benjamin M. Leroy), some are surprisingly lyrical (Marcus Sakey, John Galligan, William Kent Krueger), some are wickedly funny (Brian M. Wiprud, Jeff Strand, P.J. Parrish), and some are even supernatural (Jay Bonansinga, Robert W. Walker). Inside you'll meet cold-blooded mobsters (Rob Kantner, Victor Gischler, David Ellis), series characters from novels (David Morrell, Lawrence Block, Max Allan Collins), and hit women instead of men (M.J. Rose, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Julie Hyzy). Assembled by master of the genre J.A. Konrath, all of these stories are high-octane dynamos that will knock your socks off every time. So, like a good hitman, leave your morals, ethics, and compassion behind. You're about to enter a darkly twisted world where the bad guys are good, nobody can be trusted, and the color of money is a starling blood red.. Signed by Author. First Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
