Mike Hammer series book 15
Read by: Stacey Keach

Mike Hammer has been away from New York too long.

Recuperating in Florida after the mob shoot-out that nearly claimed his life,
he learns that an old mentor on the New York police force has committed suicide.
Hammer returns for the funeral - and because he knows that Inspector Doolan
would never have killed himself. But Manhattan in the seventies no longer feels
like home. Hammer's long-time partner, Velda, disappeared after he broke it off
for her own safety, and his office is shut down.

When a woman is murdered practically on the funeral'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 woman who had been close to Doolan in
his final days. But drug racketeers, who had it in for Doolan, 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 DA., a modern
woman on the make for old-fashioned 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.
