Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins: Kiss Her Goodbye (USA 2011) From the Publisher: When a woman is murdered practically on the funeral home's doorstep, Hammer is drawn into the hunt for a cache of Nazi diamonds that makes the Maltese Falcon seem like a knickknack, and for the mysterious beauty who had been close to Doolan in his final days. But drug racketeers, who had it in for the tough old police inspector, attract Hammer's attention as well. Soon he is hobnobbing with coke-snorting celebrities at the notorious disco Club 52 and playing footsie with a sleek lady D.A., a modern female on the make for oldfashioned Hammer. Everything leads to a Mafia social club where Hammer and his .45 come calling, initiating the wildest showdown since Spillane's classic One Lonely Night. Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins: Kiss Her Goodbye. The New Mike Hammer Novel. Harcourt, ISBN: 9780151014606 (May, 2011), 288 p., $25.00.
