Publisher's summary

Mike Hammer, the toughest PI of all, draws a seemingly routine assignment—playing bodyguard to diva Rita Vance on the eve of her big Broadway comeback. But Rita is an old flame of Hammer’s, and when their romance is rekindled, the detective finds the actress facing death threats and himself the target of one hit man after another. When the actress disappears, the show must go on, which, with Mike Hammer, means swift, violent retaliation.

While the cops and feds go down a false trail, Hammer seeks to make a rescue before Rita’s curtain comes down. But first he must make sense of a mystery that takes him from a Soho art gallery to a mountain lodge, from Little Italy to a waterfront confrontation that is way, way off Broadway.

Working from the plot for an unwritten novel found in the files of the late Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) has fashioned a compelling noir thriller that is vintage Mike Hammer all the way.

Crack another case with Mike Hammer.

A great story

This is a full-cast dramatization and it's a bit "old school" dramatic in its style, but the plot is excellent. It's a great story and I wish it had been fleshed out to a longer, full-length novel. Stacy Keach is excellent, but some of the other actors and dialog come across a bit corny. Still, for fans of Old Time Radio (OTR) or Mike Hammer, this is a real treat.

Excellent Mike Hammer

These full cast audios really bring the story to life ...almost as good as TV program with Stacy Keach.

Nice ahort story

A good escape for a solo roadtrip! I usually listen to Grey Man and Reacher, but wanted a change of pace. Good listen!
