Frank Morrison Spillane, better known as Mickey Spillane, lived from 1918---2006. Born in Brooklyn, New York, the only child of his Irish bartender father and Scottish mother, Spillane was an American crime novelist, whose stories often feature his signature detective character, MIKE HAMMER. Spillane briefly attended Fort Hays State College in Kansas and worked a variety of jobs, including summers as a lifeguard, and a period as a trampoline artist for the Ringling Bros and Barnum Bailey Circus. During World War II, Spillane enlisted in the Army Air Corps, becoming a fighter pilot and a flight instructor. Spillane's unique blend of action, sex, and vigilante vengence made him a best-selling novelist. MIKE HAMMER, the protagonist of "The Killing Man," is a vengeful knight of justice, a man who acts first and thinks later, a man who "hates too hard and shoots too fast." Hammer hunts for the killer of vampish VELDA whose skill has been smashed and for the strange man whose body is found in Hammer own office chair. More than 225 million copies of his books have sold internationally. 228 pages. I offer combined shipping.
