Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins: The Goliath Bone (USA 2008)

From the Publisher:
The bestselling American mystery writer of all time brings back his world-famous PI Mike Hammer for his biggest -- and most dangerous -- case.

In the midst of a Manhattan snowstorm, Hammer halts the violent robbery of a pair of college sweethearts who have stumbled onto a remarkable archaeological find in the Valley of Elah: the perfectly preserved femur of what may have been the biblical giant Goliath. Hammer postpones his marriage to his faithful girl Friday, Velda, to fight a foe deadlier than the mobsters and KGB agents of his past -- Islamic terrorists and Israeli extremists bent upon recovering the relic for their own agendas.

A week before his death, Mickey Spillane entrusted a substantial portion of this manuscript and extensive notes to his frequent collaborator, Max Allan Collins, to complete. The result is a thriller as classic as Spillane's own I, the Jury, as compelling as Collins's Road to Perdition, and as contemporary as The Da Vinci Code.
