Overview

Everything there is to know about contract killing in a book that covers the mythical early origins of murder as a profession, to present-day availability of hit men on the open market. A personal vendetta or self-driven interests are typical motives for pulling the trigger. In recent years, however, crime records have seen a staggering increase in the number of cases involving hired guns. This book explores why and how the phenomenon is growing to threaten all strata of a highly destablizied society.

Forbus's work has significantly helped us to realize that the hired gun is not just a person who entertains us on the page or on the cinema screen, but rather is simultaneously a real person, a set of activities, and a complex assembly of social relations, all intimately bound up with wider social, political and economic dynamics. - David Inglis Head of the Department of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen, UK
