Synopsis

A triple-shot anthology featuring the first three Mike Hammer novels--from the undisputed master of detective fiction.

In Mickey Spillane's classic detective novels, the action exploded in a bone-crunching catharsis. Men and women didn't make love, they collided. Tough brutes used their fists to drive home a message. Tougher broads used guile. And no one's morals were loftier than the gutter. No apologies. Little redemption. They rendered critics powerless, shocked intellectuals, inspired a new wave of pulp mayhem, and left the public hungry for more.

Given their hot, fever-pitch prose and breathless pacing, Spillane's Mike Hammer novels quickly became one of the most successful series in publishing history--an innovative, no-holds-barred, ultravisceral explosion of sex and violence that made Hammer a literary legend, and Spillane, one of the bestselling authors of all time. After fifty years, neither has lost their power to sucker punch the reader.

Find out for yourself in this omnibus featuring the first three Mike Hammer novels by the living master of the hard-boiled mystery...

About this title

Review:

"Spillane is a master in compelling you to Always turn the pages."--The New York Times

Synopsis:

In Mickey Spillane's classic private eye novels, the action exploded in a bone-crunching catharsis. Men and women didn't make love - they collided. Tough guys who wished to drive home a message, used their fists. Tougher broads used guile. And no-one's morals were loftier than the gutter. No apologies. Little redemption. These novels rendered critics powerless, shocked intellectuals, inspired a new wave of pulp mayhem, and left the public hungry for more. 1, The Jury sees homicide's hottest anti-hero Mike Hammer investigating the brutal murder of a close friend, and fighting with a desire to exact a terrible form of revenge. In My Gun Is Quick, Spillane's quick-fisted hero hunts for the killer of a red-head who gets her kicks in all the wrong ways. Vengeance Is Mine! sees Hammer infiltrating the Mafia to investigate a series of mysterious killings of women.
