The Goliath Bone

A Mike Hammer Novel

By: Mickey Spillane, Max Collins

Narrated by: Stacy Keach

The best-selling American mystery writer of all time brings back his world-famous P.I. Mike Hammer for his biggest and most dangerous case yet.

In the midst of a Manhattan snowstorm, Hammer halts the violent robbery of a pair of college sweethearts who have stumbled onto a remarkable archeological 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.

Completed after Spillane's death by his frequent collaborator, Max Allan Collins, this thriller is as classic as Spillane's own I, the Jury and as contemporary as The Da Vinci Code.

the Spirit of Mickey Spillane lives on.

Stacy Keach will always be the best Mike Hammer, Looking forward to much more.
Thank you Mr Collins for carrying the torch.

Great pulp mystery

I used to love watching Stacey Keach as Mike Hammer on tv as a kid but western pulp and murder mystery’s have never been my thing. I was not disappointed in picking this as lighter fair from classics and hard moderns.

A updated look at a old school PI

Very entralling. Many twists and excellently presented. A deeper perspective of Mike Hammer. Thanks Mickey!!

Mickey Spillane and Stacey Keach at their finest.

All the twists and turns of Mike Hanmer post 9/11 in the style of 1960's New York City

Too Much

Stacy Keach is brilliant as usual. His performance as Mike Hammer continues to make him Mike Hammer. This story is just too long for me. It should have been several chapters shorter. It is like a movie that takes to long to get to the point. Or as in this case a book that should have reached its climax a couple of thousand words ago. I enjoyed the story overall. I didn’t like some parts like what happened to the bone. Nor the fate of the parents. And especially a long time friend and companion. I am a happily ever after guy.
