Publisher Description

He called her Red.  She called him in from the cold.  For one short moment in the big, hard city they were friends--and then the girl turned up dead.  Mike Hammer will walk through walls to find out who she was and why she died, even if he doesn't like the answers he gets.  Even if they are all about a seamy network of call-girls, blackmail, and hoods.  Hammer owes something to Red, and he plans to make good-because in this town a friend is hard to find.

Mickey Spillane has been hailed as "the most widely read writer in history."  His novels celebrate a tradition of gut-wrenching action, gritty realism, and the best in fast-paced mystery.

"The master of this pulp genre. "

Quotes

  • “Packed with…testosterone, fast action, brutality and sensuality…depict[s] 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.”

    " I cannot give this book 4 stars because of the outlandish ending and how predictable the plot was. The book has style but is ultimately not very satisfying. The love interest is like a crew member that beams down with Kirk wearing a red uniform in the original Star Trek--she's toast. "

    " I actually listen to this on a audio book. It was entertaining. Basic detective plot - no surprises, but I enjoyed the language/slang of the time. Some fun descriptions. "

    " Not as interesting as I, the Jury. Slow and boring at times. "

    " A friend who moved to NY used to give out cheap paperbacks as gifts/party favors, a la Bloodhag. This was one of them. It's the Ur-noir/gumshoe detective novel. "
