King of the Weeds

From the New York Times bestselling author and MWA Grandmaster Max Allan Collins and the iconic master of noir Mickey Spillane comes the next book in the Mike Hammer series. It should be a mellow time for America's toughest PI, Mike Hammer. He and Velda are planning their overdue nuptials, and his friend Captain of Homicide Pat Chambers is nearing retirement. Then an assassin's bullet almost brings him down on his office doorstep. Could the attempted hit have anything to do with the impending release of a serial killer put away by Mike and Pat, decades ago? And how to explain the sudden rash of "accidental" deaths that has hit the NYPD? There's also the small matter of the $89 billion in Mafia money stashed in a cave, in a location known only to Hammer. With everyone from wiseguys to the US Government on his tail, not to mention the malign influence of convict mastermind "The King of the Weeds", Mike has to prove that he is just as sharp, and deadly, as ever. In what Mickey Spillane had planned to be the final Mike Hammer novel–begun in the late 1990s and completed recently by Max Allan Collins–the iconic tough guy has not dimmed with age. He is just as sharp, and deadly, as ever.
