About this listen
A Mike Hammer Novel
Mike Hammer hits his seventy-fifth anniversary hard, after the disappearance of Velda, in this brand new case 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 black book, 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 seventy-fifth anniversary of Mike Hammer, and including five brand new short stories, hear the lost story of Velda’s disappearance after Kiss Me, Deadly. A thrilling ride for fans new and old.
Featuring five short stories—two featuring Mike Hammer—each introduced as to their histories and places in the Hammer-verse.

When Sam Spade gets drawn into the Maltese Falcon case, we know what to expect: straight talk, hard questions, no favors, and no way for anyone to get underneath the protective shell he wears like a second skin. We know that his late partner, Miles Archer, was a son of a bitch; that Spade is sleeping with Archer's wife, Iva; that his tomboyish secretary, Effie Perine, is the only innocent in his life. What we don't know is how Spade became who he is. Spade & Archer completes the picture.

Great story that fits in the Mike Hammer canon
This is a terrific Mike Hammer story, if a bit short. As a bonus there are 5 short stories, all excellent and with good twists. The main story is good and fits well in the Hammer canon right after Velda goes missing. This adds more weight and tension to the overall story. There’s a murder, a search for a missing ledger, some creepy mobsters and many of the usual elements that make up a Hammer story. It’s rich with the atmosphere of dark alleys and nightclubs. There are plenty of twists, making it a very worthwhile book. Narration by Stefan Rudnicki is superb. Highly recommended.
