Hit And Run by Lawrence Block

Block creates very interesting characters but Hit And Run had a mediocre plot. Nevertheless it was enjoyable and I would read more of his works. The first book in this series, Hit Man, was a compilation of short stories and it moved quicker and was more interesting.

Just one more job—paid in advance—and he's going to retire. Waiting in Des Moines for the client's go-ahead, Keller's picking out stamps for his collection at a shop in Urbandale when somebody guns down the charismatic governor of Ohio. Back at his motel, Keller sees the killer's face broadcast on TV. A face he's seen quite often. Every morning. In the mirror.
