A classic Mike Hammer story from the New York Times bestselling authors Max Allan Collins and the master of noir Mickey Spillane, featuring a brand-new, never before seen, alternative ending.

Recuperating in Florida after the mob shoot-out that nearly claimed his life, Mike Hammer 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.

When a woman is murdered practically on the funeral’s doorstep, Hammer is drawn into the hunt for a cache of Nazi diamonds and for the mysterious woman who had been close to Doolan in his final days. 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.
