Hit Men: Power Brokers and Fast Money Inside the Music Business

Product Information

An intriguing, vivid account of Perkins’s ‘living on the edge’ experiences, this fascinating read is of the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction variety.” As he does so he takes time out to do some idle musing on innocuous subjects, such as the various names of roofing features and just how long it would take to ride a thousand miles on a horse. Every single chapter in the book is about murder, and yet almost none of the violence is even described. It's an afterthought. Done and moved on from.

Ensuring that these projects were contracted to U.S. companies, such loans provided political influence for the US and access to natural resources for American companies, [1] :15,239 thus primarily helping local elites and wealthy families, rather than the poor. Keller's a pretty normal guy. He does crosswords, loves dogs, collects stamps and buys earrings for his girlfriend every time he travels. And he travels a lot since his job is killing people. LB is best known for his series characters, including cop-turned-private investigator Matthew Scudder, gentleman burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr, globe-trotting insomniac Evan Tanner, and introspective assassin Keller.

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. Keller, who lived in a one-bedroom apartment in midtown Manhattan, had no lawn to mow. There was a tree in front of his building, planted and diligently maintained by the Parks Department, and its leaves fell in the fall, but no one needed to rake them. The wind was pretty good about blowing them away. Snow, when it didn’t melt of its own accord, was shoveled from the sidewalk by the building’s superintendent, who kept the elevator running and replaced burned-out bulbs in the hall fixtures and dealt with minor plumbing emergencies. Keller had a low-maintenance life, really. All he had to do was pay the rent on time and everything else got taken care of by other people.

This eloquent book inspires us to create a new reality of what it means to be human in this magnificent planet.” I make it sound like a sweet little romcom. It's not. It's irreverent and cynical and so, so entertaining.What makes the character so appealing are his inner musings about life in general and his own in particular.
