Last Job for a Killer The governor said, "You've come for amnesty?" "That's right." Slattery's mouth was dry. "How come?" the governor breathed. "You, of all men?" Rage thickened Slattery's voice. "Why not?" "Amnesty for Ben Slattery. You want to quit your side of the law and join ours?" Slattery said "Ours? You don't mean ours, you mean yours, don't you Governor?" "Ours," Fallon barked. "Mine and the rest of the law-abiding citizens of this Territory. You want to join us?" Slattery was silent. “Why? Why are you here? Why now?" "Because," Slattery said slowly, "I'm sick of the whole damn' business. Because I'm tired of it all." He stood straight and he knew he was telling the truth, even though it was a lie. He wasn't seeking amnesty. He was seeking the easy way to put a bullet into Fallon's heart.

Arnold Hano was born in New York in 1922. His first job was as a copy boy at the New York Daily News in 1941. The next year he enlisted in the Army and served in the Pacific until 1946. After the war, Hano became managing editor at Bantam, then editor-in-chief of Lion Books, where he worked to develop authors like Jim Thompson and David Goodis. He has taught writing at the University of Southern California, Pitzer College, and the University of California, Irvine. He has also enjoyed a career as a freelance novelist and sportswriter, authoring many books on baseball, including the classic, A Day in the Bleachers. In 1955, he moved with his wife Bonnie and their family to Laguna Beach, California, where they live today. And now in his 90s, he still writes a monthly column for an environmental organization.
For about six and a half years Hano wrote westerns with a unique perspective. He looked for untouched subjects and unusual formats. He was challenging, subversive, and he didn t repeat himself. --David Laurence Wilson, "Citizen Hano"
Brilliant chronicler of the blazing West. --Male Magazine
Fast-paced with strong characters in troubled waters." --Midwest Book Review
