RARA-AVIS: Hitmen wanted...

Wed, 21 Oct 1998 22:39:40 -0700 Can someone give me some recommendations on novels with hitmen / assassins
as the protagonist?

I've read and enjoyed the QUARRY series by Max Allan Collins, the Keller
series by Robert Bloch, THIS GUN FOR HIRE by Graham Greene, ANGRY MOON by
Terrill Lankford...and a couple other miscellaneous works.

Stephen Hunter is a bit too ballistic-oriented for me. I'm looking for
works that are character-driven - the angst, the inner struggle of a killer,
etc - wherein the hitman is somewhat of the classic "anti-hero."

Any ideas?
