About This Book
This is an excellent book for anyone who likes old time thrillers and
wants to read a classic. It was written when nobody really wrote about
cops or dangerous detective stories, so it is the pick of the litter for
risky cop stories. It is about a Private Investigator, called Mike
Hammer, who goes undercover with a group of blackmailing thieves. They
set married men up with models, take compromising photos and then
threaten to show the pictures to their wives if the men don't pay up.
Mike Hammer ends up meeting one of the unlucky men, who had recognized
the model he was set up with, only the man ends up dead the next
morning. Since Mike Hammer is in the same room as him the D.A. wrongly
charges the P.I. with murder. The charge can't stick because the killing
was made to look like suicide but Mike gets mad at the D.A. and
consequently loses his license. But this is one tough P.I. and he is not
going to let it go at that. He ends up searching the streets for the
killer and runs himself into a whole mess of trouble that turns out
revealing many strange characters. This is also a good book for any one
who likes the Film Noir genre, characterized by complex characters that
don't make any sense in the beginning, especially for a young reader
like myself. In the end everything came clear and because they were
complex it made the story that much more thrilling and exciting. I would
recommend this to anyone who likes fast paced and dark characters and a
twisting tale filled with suspense. --Reed Murray
