Official synopsis Publisher
From the undisputed master of detective fiction, this triple-shot anthology features the first three Mike Hammer novels:
I, the Jury
My Gun is Quick
Vengeance is Mine!
In Mickey Spillane’s classic detective 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. They 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 their power to sucker punch the reader.
