If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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 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. These novels 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 his power to deliver a knockout punch.

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

Review:

"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." Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

This premier trade anthology features Spillane's first three blockbusters starring Detective Mike Hammer: "I, The Jury, My Gun Is Quick" and "Vengeance Is Mine!"
