«L'amour du métier» is the volume of crime stories by Lawrence Block published by Points in paperback, with 336 pages in French.
John Paul Keller is a New York hitman who tells his psychiatrist he works as an «expéditeur» (sender), though in reality he receives assignments by phone from Dot and travels across the United States to eliminate people he only knows from photographs. The volume brings together ten stories with irony, black humor and a very personal professional ethic.
It belongs to the John Keller series, of which it is the first installment. The original title, Hit Man, was published in 1998; this French edition appeared in 2001 in the Points Policiers collection number 909.
