A Good Man is Hard to Find is a short story by Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964) published in 1953.

The grandmother recognized the Misfit, a famous criminal from the federal penitentiary. When she recognized him, he told her it would have been better for her if she does not reveal his identity.

They start talking, and the grandmother tries to touch him. That's when the Misfit shoots her three times, and after that, he cleans his glasses and says there is no pleasure in life.
