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
