Hammer is the legendary private investigator that Spillane invented and is indeed known the toughest one-man army ever. This is a short little treat about a Don who kept a ledger of transactions and left it to someone he trusted when he died. The feds want Hammer to find the ledger and the Don’s son, who is the heir apparent, wants the Don’s secrets as well. Both are willing to pay Hammer a terrific sum for finding it. What’s great about this short piece is it has the tough-guy Hammer in it and a sense of humor as well. Since this is just a short piece it should not be compared with full- length Hammer novels. Worth reading for Hammer enthusiasts and for those who want an easy introduction to the legendary PI. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

This is part of The Mysterious Bookshop series. At just 65 pages, it's a novella or long short story. The manuscript was begun by Spillane, then finished by Collins, who explains that it seems that Spillane was working on it in the 80's, so that's when Collins set it. It's a tidy little story, one that seems pretty tame aside from some language, and then a sudden burst of gunfire and case closed. ( )
