These Guns For Hire ((2006) Anthology by J A Konrath (ed. Sun77)
Requirements: ePUB reader, 0.8 Mb
Overview: “Murder didn’t mean much to Raven. It was just a new job.”
So begins the 1936 novel THIS GUN FOR HIRE by Graham Greene. Raven, a hit man, was one of the first anti-heroes in crime fiction. But he was far from the last.
Since Greene’s groundbreaking creation, assassins have been a mainstay in mysteries and thrillers. They’re the dark reflection of the cops and private eyes that populate the genre. Mobsters. Snipers. Sociopaths. Bounty hunters. Spec-Ops soldiers who ruthlessly dispatch the enemy. Aging mafia loners troubled by conscience.
Sometimes the villain, sometimes the hero, always compelling.
They’re also more popular than ever.
