Hit List: Lawrence Block

Keller 2. Keller is a cool, competent and consummate professional. A killer. But who would know? He leads a tranquil personal life, and now and then a call from the breezily efficient Dot sends him off on a job. He takes a plane, rents a car, finds a hotel room - and comes back when the job is done. But then Dot books him for a job in New York, his home base; he meets an artist who tells him he's got a murderer's thumb; and the jobs start to go wrong. Targets die before he can even get to them - and Keller realises he's found his way on to someone else's hit list...
