Contract Killer
What is the best way to realistically contract a modern killer for a book plot without sounding too contrived?
Looking for some realistic and modern ideas for contracting a killer for a book plot. I am currently working with using Craigslist and similar internet resources but don’t read that genre. The ways I am familiar with from older books sound too Dick Tracey.
Depends on the persons who wants to contact a killer!
Try to find a copy of Michel Deville’s film Péril en la demeure (Death in a French Garden), the protagonist actually does not hire the killer but there’s an unusual way to get in contact with one.
Also try Kaurismäki’s I Hired a Contract Killer, Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train, and Becker’s L’éte meurtrier (One Deadly Summer) – different, but a way to find someone who kills people for you.
These films might give you an idea of how far you can go. In a world where people can hire human beings to kill other human beings – what is realism?
I think it’s mainly about the place where you meet a killer – it usually is dark side roads, a seedy men’s restroom, an obscure park, or ’speakeasies’. I would like to see/read it happening in the full light of day, in an environment that does not fit – a sunny beach where children play in the sand (the protagonists would both sweat, etc.), a charity ball – wherever – but no more dark side roads.
I also would like to see something going wrong – usually the talking is short and the killer vanishes misteriously – bore me!
I would like to see a killer (unlike the always nervous drug dealers) who isn’t hard-boiled and a ‘client’ who is nervous. It would be interesting to find an INTERESTING way to show it the other way around. Or to show that the killer’s conscience-proofness is mere surface – whatever.
Another thing is the way the protagonist gets in contact with a contract killer – modern? On the internet? Yahoo Answers – Can anyone tell me how to find a contract killer? 
! My space? The ‘Rohtenburg cannibal’ found his victims via internet chats – it’s all been done before. Maybe he’s watching a murder and follows the
offender – I think this has been done before, too. He may find a cell phone and find stored phone numbers one of which leads him to a contract killer? ! I surrender …. Modern technology does not seem to be a way to show a modern way to get in contact with a killer….
