The bestselling American mystery writer of all time brings
back his world-famous PI Mike Hammer for his biggest—and
most dangerous—case.
In the midst of a Manhattan
snowstorm, Hammer halts the violent robbery of a pair of
college sweethearts who have stumbled onto a remarkable
archaeological 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.
A week before his death, Mickey Spillane entrusted a
substantial portion of this manuscript and extensive notes
to his frequent collaborator, Max Allan Collins, to
complete. The result is a thriller as classic as Spillane’s
own I, the Jury, as compelling as Collins’s Road
to Perdition, and as contemporary as The Da Vinci
Code.
