Hammer is at a high society party when a wealthy and well-respected man, Colby, is hit by a car and badly injured. When all he expected was a night on the town, Mike is hired to find out who was driving the car. His search leads him on a trail of murders, the victims often exhibiting the same kind of strangulation as the cause of death.

Story
Ex-military policeman Jack Reacher is a drifter. He’s just passing through Margrave, Georgia, and in less than an hour, he’s arrested for murder. Not much of a welcome. All Reacher knows is that he didn’t kill anybody. At least not here. Not lately. But he doesn’t stand a chance of convincing anyone. Not in Margrave, Georgia. Not a chance in hell.

Story
When Mayor Cermak’s “Hoodlum Squad” brings Heller along on a raid with no instructions but to keep his mouth shut and his gun handy, he becomes an unwitting, unwilling part of a hit on Al Capone’s successor, Frank Nitti. As a result, Heller quits the force to become a private eye. His first job: head off a nation-shaking political assassination in Miami Beach. With the Chicago World’s Fair as a backdrop, Heller encounters a ragtag array of crooks and clients, including Al Capone, George Raft, “Dutch” Reagan, and FDR himself.

Quarry doesn't kill just anybody these days. He restricts himself to targeting other hitmen, availing his marked-for-death clients of two services: eliminating the killers sent after them, and finding out who hired them…and then removing that problem, as well. So far he's rid of the world of nobody who would be missed. But this time he finds himself zeroing in on the grieving family of a missing cheerleader. Does the hitman's hitman have the wrong quarry in his sights?

Now, decades later, a second vault has been uncovered, this one resting where no one ever expected. And the problem is it's not ours. Yet even more curious than the vault itself is what lies inside. Seeds. Millions of seeds. Each with a genetic embryo untouched and perfectly preserved. Waiting.

Still, Hammer, after all these years
Max Allan Collins continues his run of completing Spillane's outlines, unfinished manuscripts, and plans for additional Mike Hammer novels. This is modernized pulp, but if you understand that going in, it can be a great deal of fun. Also, the narrator does a fine job performing the story even if he isn't Stacy Keach. How Hammer is it? I could almost.... almost hear the soulful strains of "Harlem Nocturne" which was used for years as the theme for the TV movies and show in the 1980's.

Mike Hammer Forever!
I was very excited for this new Mike Hammer Mystery. Max Allan Collins does a great job of continuing the Mickey Spillane adventures. Like it says in the forward this one is a little more like the tv series compared to some of the “revenge” novels. I hope Max keeps writing them because they just keel getting better. I was also excited to see Stefan Rudnicki being the new narrator following John Dan Miller and of course Stacy Keach. Stefan has an amazing voice and is a perfect choice to take up the Mike Hammer mantle. I highly recommend this new Mike Hammer mystery!

Hammer lives
In this one Mike Hammer is around 60 years of age and engaged to Velda while being true to her all the years. Still he gets involved with a case along with Velda that brings all the old action back.
At the beginning of the book, the other author, Max Allan Collins, explains how he got involved with finishing all the unfinished Hammer books.
It turns out that at some point Mickey Spillane became a Jehovah’s Witness. The church really cracked down on the elements of his books that didn’t fit the fate. Still he had the Hammer writing bug and he would come up with an idea for a new book and start writing although sometimes there was nothing more than a synopsis. So when Collins agreed to tidy things up he didn’t realize how many books there were and all the different stages they were at. Still he had made the agreement, stuck to it and did the best he could in finishing up the books while staying as true to the Mike Hammer character as he could.

Another action-packed, non-pc as hell, Mickey/Collins read!
Well, what can you say?
No, not Raymond Chandler or Dashiel Hammet, or even Jim Thompson.
When you walk into any McD’s in the world you always know what you’ll get. And, yup every Mickey Spillane novel is in the same fashion, you are certain of the product and its quality, even the ones he didn’t write.
Don’t tell anybody, this is my own dirty, little secret. I love this hard-boiled noir pulp genre. Yes, with all those wonderful non-pc stereotypes! or, preciously because of them.
Another of those fun, nonfactual, unfinished, old fashioned Mickey Spillane novels reconstructed by the faithful Collins.
Might seem a little too ridiculously preoccupied by luscious, manipulative sex dolls babes and strong, dangerous, violent, randy, fedora wearing detectives (although yes, be it with the years piling up on most of them) but they’re still knocking heads with the young bulls, kicking ass n taking names.
But, every now and then, you get an unexpected bonus - a line, a description, a concept of pure power and gold.
Narration is good.
