The hitman hero of the acclaimed Cinemax series comes out of retirement when his daughter, a true-crime writer, is abducted by the subject of one of her books. A nail-biting suspense thriller from the author of ROAD TO PERDITION. Someone snatched his daughter. Someone's going to pay. After nearly 50 years in the killing business, the hitman known as Quarry was enjoying a comfortable retirement - until the grown daughter he only recently met mysteriously went missing. Now it's up to the old man to show he hasn't lost a step and, with the help of a femme fatale from his past, prove he's as ruthless, deadly and unstoppable as any man half his age.
Coming hard on the heels of the Edgar Award finalist QUARRY'S BLOOD, which first introduced Quarry's daughter, QUARRY'S RETURN is a high-stakes thriller from the legendary author of ROAD TO PERDITION that will remind you why this notorious killer (star of a feature film and a Cinemax TV series) is the best there ever was.
