When legendary mystery writer Mickey Spillane died in
2006, he left behind the manuscript of one last novel
he'd just completed: THE LAST STAND. He asked his friend
and colleague (and fellow Mystery Writers of America
Grand Master) Max Allan Collins to take responsibility
for finding the right time and place to publish this
final book. Now, on the hundredth anniversary of
Spillane's birth, his millions of fans will at last get
to read THE LAST STAND, together with a second never-
before-published work, this one from early in Spillane's
career: the feverish crime novella A BULLET FOR
SATISFACTION.
A tarnished former cop goes on a crusade to find a
politician's killer and avoid the .45-caliber slug with
his name on it. A pilot forced to make an emergency
landing in the desert finds himself at the center of a
struggle between FBI agents, unsavory fortune hunters,
and members of the local Indian tribe to control a
mysterious find that could mean wealth and power - or
death. Two substantial new works filled with Spillane's
muscular prose and the gorgeous women and two-fisted
action the author was famous for, topped off by an
introduction from Max Allan Collins describing the
history of these lost manuscripts and his long
relationship with the writer who was his mentor, his
hero, and for much of the last century the bestselling
author in the world.
