The Mike Hammer Collection, Volume 1

ebook

2 of 2 copies available
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.

      Fans of hard-boiled detective novels will relish the return of three Mickey Spillane classics in The Mike Hammer Collection: I, the Jury, My Gun Is Quick, Vengeance Is Mine. Packed with heavy doses of testosterone, fast action, brutality and sensuality, these three tales depict the darker side of the post-WWII era, a time when tough-guy vigilantes like Hammer were admired, villains were unrepentantly sinister and women were sexy but dangerous. This volume is the first in a series of three-in-one Hammer collections and a fitting tribute to a writer who revolutionized a genre.
