Description of
Killing Town (Mike Hammer)
Mike Hammer steals a ride on a train upstate to Killington. But he is welcomed by a nasty surprise: he is accused by police of raping and murdering a young woman near the freight yards. Roughed up by the cops and facing a murder charge, Hammer's future looks bleak. Only a beautiful blonde, Melba Charles daughter of powerful Senator Charles might possibly save him... if he pays the price. But why would Melba help save a man she has never met? And, more to the point, where is the real murderer? From a brittle, brown manuscript, the first Mike Hammer novel begun by Mickey Spillane in the mid-forties and completed seventy years later by Max Allan Collins is a gift to mystery fans on the occasion of the noir master's 100th birthday
