This one goes in the “who would’ve thunk it” category. Today’s Inc.com has a story about coming back out of retirement that refers to a book by Lawrence Block that is about a hit-man who decides to retire and take up stamp collecting. As it turns out the stamps he wants are too expensive and so he starts killing people again to be able to afford his new hobby. I can’t say that I’ve read the book, but it sounds kind of interesting. How far would you go to get the stamps you need for your collection? 
In case you don’t get the connection - the image shows the front cover of Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.
