"Murder didn't mean much to Raven. It was just a new job." Thus begins This Gun for Hire, a novel originally published in 1936, the story of a professional killer and the first example of Graham Greene's fascination with the criminal mind and the villain-as-hero. The setting is Greenland in its darkest and seediest English aspect. The characters-- Raven, the repellent assassin; Anne, the woman who comes closest to knowing him; Mather, her detective fiancé; the ambiguous "agents," Cholmondeley and Davis, and the powerful man they work for-- all are etched precisely in portraits that are at once vivid and grim. The action, a suspenseful drama of murder, pursuit, threat, and entrapment, is riveting from first page to last. More than an "entertainment," and more than a detective thriller, This Gun for Hire is a harrowing exploration of the twisted and tortured psyche of the hardened criminal. [Taken from the front flap]
