Tough P.I. Mike Hammer emerges from a near-death coma to learn that he is embroiled in a deadly search for billions of dollars of missing mob money
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Times have changed, and Mickey Spillane's tough-guy private eye, Mike Hammer, has changed with them. Well, sort of. Hammer confesses to his fondness for Wagner in this latest adventure and proposes to his long-time gal Friday, the voluptuous Velda. He even dines at Le Cirque, though thankfully he does not order quiche. Meanwhile, he is tracking down a missing $89 billion while dodging the mob, the Feds, the cops, and a shadowy set of very nasty villains. Spillane's fondness for hard-boiled imagery, and his devotion to Raymond Chandler's maxim "When in doubt, have a guy come through a door with a gun," have not wavered. Hammer hits the big time in this delightfully preposterous pulp fiction.
Mickey Spillane is one of the world’s bestselling novelists, with sales of over 200 million copies worldwide of his more than 30 books. In 1995 he was named a Grandmaster by the Mystery Writers of America, and published his thirteenth Mike Hammer novel the following year. This collection is the first-time-ever omnibus featuring the first three novels by the living master of the hard-boiled mystery. Mickey currently lives with his wife in South Carolina.
