Mike Hammer hits his 75th anniversary hard, after the disappearance of
Velda, in this brand new case set between Kiss Me, Deadly and The
Girl Hunters, based on an unproduced screenplay from Mickey Spillane's
archives.
Mike Hammer is on the case, this time hunting the murderer of his old
friend and bootlegger-turned-legit-businessman Packy Paragon. Already
torn up by the disappearance of Velda, his beloved secretary, Mike
Hammer carves a brutal path for vengeance. Drinking heavily, his
relationships fraying, his behavior self-destructive, Hammer has to
track down Paragon's secret ledger, with the names of every corrupt
official in town. With deception everywhere, and a whole host of reasons
to want the ledger, Hammer has to pull himself together and solve the
case before all hell breaks loose.
Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Mike Hammer, and including five
brand new short stories, read the lost story of Velda's disappearance
after Kiss Me, Deadly. A thrilling ride for fans new and old.
