Mystery > Murder For Hire

    The Last Dance by Ed McBain

In this city, you can get anything done for a price. If you want someone's eyeglasses smashed, it'll cost you a subway token. You want his fingernails pulled out? His legs broken? You want him more seriously injured? You want him hurt so he's an invalid his whole life? You want him skinned, you want him burned, you want him--don't even mention it in a whisper--killed? It can be done. Let me talk to someone. It can be done.
