Another very well written book by Dr. RJ Parker. This book is a fascinating book about assassins, contract killer and hitmen throughout history. Dr. Scott Bonn also compares contract killers to serial killers. The most interesting contract killer was the father of Actor Woody Harrelson, Charles Harrelson - he was known as the Natural Born Killers. A very informative and must read for all True Crime Lovers!!!!

Excellent read! Loved learning about the difference between serial killers and hitman. Also enjoyed reading about the history of the different hitman through our time. Was surprised in a way that there are still active hitmen out there.

33% in on kindle, that is as far as I'll read. Most inane book I've read in decades. Contract killers kill for money, that's it really.

In the comfort of our suburban homes, probably the last thing on our minds is the danger that we might become the target of a contract killer. These low-level thugs who kill for money, though, are more common than the average person realizes. In Blood Money: The Method and Madness of Assassins, author R. J. Parker examines the history of assassins, and how they’ve worked through the centuries. He traces the use of murder-for-hire from biblical times to the present day, with historical profiles of some of the most prolific assassins.
A book that will chill you—as he points out that a significant number of contract murders are arranged by people for revenge or money rather than being related to organized crime—and, hopefully, educate you to the reality of the world in which we live.
Repetitive in places, the prose is a bit choppy, but, the subject is handled with a researcher’s skill. Of particular interest is the author’s analysis of how popular media, TV and movies, portrays professional assassins, and how far the portrayals are from reality.
If you have a strong stomach, but and inquiring mind, it’s a worthwhile read.

I really enjoyed this very informative book about assassins, contract killers or "hitmen." This book covers the history of contract killing, organized crime, as well as other related topics, and features some of the infamous assassins including Mad Dog, Iceman, Goodfella and Bugsy Siegel just to name a few. Also included is a section on female assassins which was very interesting and informative. Dr. Scott Bonn discussed contract killers vs serial killers in the Forward. I highly recommend this book to any true crime fan.
