The Butcher’s Boy — the professional killer we first met in Thomas Perry’s debut novel back in 1982 — hasn’t lost his
extremely sharp edge. In his fourth outing,
EDDIE’S BOY (The Mysterious Press, 274 pp., $26), Michael Schaeffer, as he now calls himself, shows how far he has come in the world since his early career as a hit man. (“He’d had a long life for a man in his line of work,” he acknowledges, with some satisfaction.) Schaeffer is living uneventfully with his English wife in Bath when his previous life intrudes with a vengeance. Four armed men have come to kill him, and while their corpses are now safely stowed in a big black sedan, Michael has no idea who sent them. Some mob family must have called for his assassination — but which one?
