The legal team then proceeds to tie the book to the case of a Motown recording engineer (McDaniel) who gets a hitman to murder his ex-wife, their paraplegic daughter[ sic] and the son's nurse. By proving that the hired killer followed 22 of the 26 steps shown in Paladin's book, they're able to bring home the point that freedom of speech laws should not protect material that is produced for the purpose of aiding and abetting murder.

Perkins has, once again, made a substantial contribution to a world that needs whistle-blowers to open its eyes to the true sources of political, social, and economic power.” As the book's title would imply, Keller is a hit man, and logically, we readers should be repelled by him and his actions. But as is the case with Richard Stark's amoral thief, Parker, you can't help but root for the guy, even though you know you shouldn't. He's the BAD guy, for god's sake, and we should despise him, but he's just too damned likable. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad McFarlane, 'The Hitmen' entry.

Hit Man is the story of a hitman. This hitman -- a contract killer named Keller -- is not an exceptional shooter or a terribly talented death-artist. He's a pretty normal dude who likes dogs and movies and stamps, along with drinks that give him heartburn. He's just got an unusual job. He's a ball to read about.

A sweeping, bold assault on the tyranny of corporate globalization, full of drama and adventure, with devastating stories of greed run wild. But Perkins is undaunted, and offers imaginative ideas for a different world.” Whilst signed to WEA and MMA management the group toured with international acts Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Stranglers and Steppenwolf.

Before I forget to mention, this is a 10-chapter book about an irregular assasin. Each chapter serves as a self-contained story, but all these stories are connected and show progression. So it functions as a novel in episodic doses. Perhaps the best thing about dogs, it seemed to Keller, was that you could talk to them. They made much better listeners than human beings did. You didn’t have to worry that you were boring them, or that they’d heard a particular story before, or that they’d think less of you for what you were revealing about yourself. I’ll be damned, Keller. It sounds for all the world as though you’ve got yourself a hobby. You’re a whatchamacallit, a philatelist.”Smolla, Rodney A. (1999).

He's a successful, resourceful killer, but he doesn't exude violence, nor does he spend his free time in bars staring down the local toughs of Wherever. Keller spends his off hours walking his dog, Nelson, until his dog leaves him. And then he starts collecting stamps. Piersanti, President and Publisher, Steven (March 7, 2005).

He even kills the wrong people by accident, as well as the wrong people on purpose. Sure, he thinks about the morality of what he does for a living, but for only about as much time as he spends thinking about the shopping channel, or how many pairs of earrings a woman can reasonably own.
