Gun Machine by Warren Ellis

3.0

NYPD Detective John Tallow and his partner, Jim Rosato, answer a call about a naked man waving a shotgun in an apartment building. The call ends in tragedy, but opens up a can of worms. Tallow stumbled upon an apartment filled with guns. As the guns are processed, it is discovered that each of these firearms has been used to kill someone. The Hunter, as he is termed throughout the book, has a dangerous purpose, one that Tallow, with the help of crime scene techs Scarly and Bat, realizes goes back 20 years and is intended to continue for several years more. Dark, morbid, and somewhat disturbing, this book gleefully details the lengths humans go through to hurt each other and fulfill their ambitions, however misguided.
