Book Description:
Keller is a regular guy. He goes to the movies, works on his stamp collection. Call him for jury duty and he serves without complaint. Then every so often he gets a phone call from White Plains that sends him flying off somewhere to kill a perfect stranger. Keller is a pro and very good at what he does. But the jobs have started to go wrong. The realization is slow coming yet, when it arrives, it is irrefutable: Someone out there is trying to hit the hit man. Keller, God help him, has found his way onto somebody else's hit list.

The hit man discovers he's on a hit list. Plot sounds familiar, but it's much more than that. Very good story, good humor. Lawrence Block is a master.

This is a wonderful book. Just pretend for a moment that it's just another job for another middle class guy--being a hit man. That's the premise behind this amazing novel by Lawrence Block, a master of funny yet hard-boiled mysteries. This one is unique. (There is another one in the series from a few years ago and the third one is due out in hardcover in the fall of 2006. I'm really looking forward to number 3.)

John Keller, whom Block introduced in Hit Man, is a killer for hire, with a difference. He's thoughtful, even broody, tends to take a liking to some of the towns where he goes to do his work, dreams of perhaps settling down in one of them one day and collects stamps in his spare time, of which there's plenty.

CM C. (Keller is a hit man. Someone is trying to kill him. Second in the series. Don't follow the book like one novel. Take it in chapters.
John Keller, although a hit-man, is the hero of this book. One cannot help but wish him well.
What happens when the hit man becomes the target of an unknown hit?
