I had never read/listened to anything by Mickey Spillane before, but...
This is what I've finished so far:"Grave Matter - A Mike Hammer Story" - Max Allan Collins and Mickey Spillane This was a fairly amusing story. Though there wasn't much of a point to me.
A couple of weeks back, I was reminded of this book thanks to someone else asking about the name of the book.

Like me, you probably won't have a hard time guessing who the killer is, but that's no great accomplishment at this point in time. As for the motive, good luck. Hammer explains it all at the end and ...
