Anyone know any good books with or about hit mans or assassins for hire ?
Haven't come across any series or stand alones about this subject that were really good.
I reckon somebody would have covered this by now :)

So any tips are welcome !
Thanx in advance

The Day of The Jackal by Frederick Forsyth

[Sam Allardyce]

The Day of the Jackal is a classic. Definitely read that.

Another good one is The English Assassin, part of the Gabriel Allon series of books by Daniel Silva.

I haven't read it, but Hit Man by Lawrence Block might fit what you're looking for.

And there's always James Bond, with his license to kill.

A lot by Trevanian:

The Eiger Sanction, The Loo Sanction, Shibumi.......

[Kanos]

Barry Eislers Rain series is somewhat enjoyable in the assassin department.

Thanx for the tips people !

[The Lord of all Things Inane]

The series by Lawrence Block is great. Keller is a great character. Andrew Vachss writes some great stuff.

Didn't he write some comic stuff for Batman ?

Actually, he did do one that I know of! His Batman is pretty hard core. It was a novel though, I have not seen the comics. His book is called....The Dark Knight? I may be wrong.
