Description

Mike Hammer's deadly final adventure challenges everything we knew about the enduring noir detective in this gripping finale with a shocking twist.

The concluding Hammer novel begins with a 21st century funeral before flashing back to summer, 1970.

Six years after the events of Dig Two Graves, Hammer takes another unlikely vacation-this time on Long Island to help look after his partner Velda Sterling's seventeen-year-old sibling, Willa.

Willa must deal with the attention of two boys vying for her affection-Hammer preferring the good kid from a wealthy family over the long-haired doper with an Easy Rider vibe. When Willa gets hooked on heroin, Hamm-filled with contempt for dope dealers-goes on a rampage. He will find the man behind the drug racket and teach him what shooting up is all about.

But a final resolution awaits him in the future at that funeral....

About the Author

Reviews
PRAISE FOR MICKEY SPILLANE Mike Hammer is an icon of our culture. - The New York Times A superb writer. Spillane is one of the century's bestselling authors. - The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) PRAISE FOR MAX ALLAN COLLINS [Collins] has no problem serving up Hammer the same way Spillane did, with plenty of mayhem, violence, and sex, dished out in straight-ahead, no-frills prose, right on target, so direct, with no room for sissy stuff like digressions, detours, or doubts. Hammer is a shark that needs to keep swimming to survive, and Collins tosses plenty of chum into these waters... It's the real deal, folks: primo, primal detective fiction. Pass the peanuts. - Mystery Scene Max Allan Collins is the closest thing we have to a 21st century Mickey Spillane. - ThisWeek (Ohio) Collins' witty, hardboiled prose would make Raymond Chandler proud. - Entertainment Weekly

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.
