Learn more“Spillane is a pioneer of tough-guy ethics.”—Washington Post
In the west legends are made one bullet at a time.…
Trinidad, New Mexico, is an oasis of civilization in an untamed desert ruled by outlaws, bank robbers and horse thieves. Sheriff Harry Gauge rules his town with an iron fist, a fast gun, and an unbridled thirst for power.
George Cullen sweated blood to carve a ranch from the wilderness. He’d rather take a bullet to the gut than give in to the greedy sheriff’s land grab. But a cattle empire isn’t all Gauge wants—he also has his eye on Cullen’s beautiful daughter, Willa.
Cullen gets word out that he’s hiring the fastest gunslinger money can buy to take on the sheriff. When a stranger rides in, townsfolk wonder if this is the rancher’s hired gun. Wherever he came from, wherever he’s going, two things are clear—the stranger won’t be pushed…and his aim is deadly.
“Spillane is a master in compelling you to always turn the next page.” —The New York Times
“Collins displays his mastery of Spillane’s distinctive two-fistedprose.” —Publishers Weekly
Mickey Spillane is the legendary crime writer credited with igniting the explosion of paperback publishing after World War II through the unprecedented success of his Mike Hammer novels. Spillane’s novels sold tens of millions of copies. I, The Jury went through more than 60 paperback printings in 1947 alone. In 1995, he was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America. Before his death at the age of 88 in 2006, Spillane chose long-time friend Max Allan Collins to complete his unfinished works and act as his literary executor.
Max Allan Collins is the New York Times bestselling, award-winning author of Road to Perdition, the graphic novel that inspired the Oscar-winning movie starring Paul Newman and Tom Hanks, and of the Shamus-winning Nathan Heller series of historical hardboiled mysteries. With his wife Barbara, he writes the acclaimed Trash ‘n’ Treasures mysteries under the byline Barbara Allan. Also a filmmaker, Collins created the documentary Mike Hammer’s Mickey Spillane. He lives in Iowa. Visit him at www.maxallancollins.com.
