Publisher Description
Nobody ever walked across the bridge at night. But on the foggy night that Hammer took that chance, his encounter with a gun-toting thug and a girl on the lam ended with both strangers dead. Soon Hammer is caught in a web of sinister gangsters and beautiful women the likes of which he's never seen -- and his only way out is to kill and kill again...even with his bare hands.

"what can I say but brilliant .I read Spillane in my teens and I never forgot how good he was , so I thought I'd read them again , a bit dated but still a good read as long as you are not to PC or a feminist .If you fancy a good read try one of the omnibus collections I think you might be a convert ."

Quotes
-
“There’s a kind of power about Mickey Spillane that no other writer can imitate.”
— New York Times -
“Explosive.”
— BarnesandNoble.com, editorial review -
“Mickey Spillane is the living master of the hard-boiled mystery.”
— Detecting Men -
“Spillane at his finest (i.e., most vulgar, wise-talking, cynical, noir, most B-movie-poetic, etc.)…[The] story begins, ‘Nobody ever walked across the bridge, not on a night like this.’ Except, of course, our friend Mr. Hammer; readers will feel compelled to follow.”

" Read these books back in the 1950s loved them great private eye in the bogart genre Sam spade etc "

" Mike Hammer stories aren't for everyone. You'll know before you make it five pages in which camp you are in. I'm in the group of people who like them, and this collection was a nice way to burn through three stories at once. "
— Robert, 3/8/2013 -
" Crime noir fiction at its best. "

" My favorite philosophy professor was a Micky Spillane fan. So, I decided to give Spillane a try. I'll stick to philosophy maybe. "
— Scot, 5/11/2012 -
" The first story was so so, but the the second 2 - Kiss me Deadly and One Lonely Night were pretty great. I think at least 60 percent of the text is spent describing women's legs, mouths and walks, but I kind of like it that way. It's not trashy, just noir-y. Summer reading yo. "
— Lynn, 2/4/2012 -
" All of the books I have listed here on the read shelf,I have indeed read.All have by my estimation a five star rating. Books that I did not like are not listed.I have been reading for over 50 years. "

" This book is a duel between cheesiness and entertaining. Entertaining won out, but barely. "
— Ty, 1/1/2011 -
" Mike Hammer is like James Bond meets Clive Owen's character in "Shoot 'Em Up." He's hard-boiled, sexual, pissed off, and corny. I recommend this book for a good laugh and a quick read, nothing more. "
— Beth, 11/19/2010 -
" Once I started I was hooked, "
