The course of true love never did run smooth for PI Mike Hammer. His secretary and partner Velda has walked out on him without explanation, and Mike is just surfacing from a four-month bender. But then an old cop turns up murdered, an old cop who once worked with Velda on the NYPD Vice Squad. What’s more, Mike’s pal Captain Pat Chambers has discovered that Velda is in Florida, the moll of gangster and drug runner Nolly Quinn. Hammer hits the road and drives to Miami, where he enlists the help of a horse-faced newspaperman and a local police detective. But can they find Velda in time? And what is the connection between the murdered vice cop in Manhattan, and Mike’s ex turning gun moll in Florida?

Mike has been drinking for weeks because Velda has left him. Not only has she left Manhattan for Miami, she has been seen in the company of Oliver (Nolly) Quinn, a ruthless gangster and notorious abuser of women.Why? A possible hint: Velda (a licensed PI in her own right) was once a Vice detective, working for Wade Manley, aka the Big Man. The Big Man has recently turned up dead in a very improbable part of town for what was probably a heavily-staged mugging.Everybody loved the Big Man, including Mike and Pat Chambers, so Mike has two quests—to retrieve/save Velda and to avenge the Big Man. This will not be easy. Quinn is surrounded by goons and is in cahoots both with someone in officialdom as well as with someone from the mob. Actually, multiple mobsters make their winter home in Miami and resent one of their number (as yet unidentified) contaminating the place that they call home by using it as a conduit for trafficking drugs that originate in Cuba. Mike is surrounded by armed thugs; who can he trust?That is the set-up and it’s a very effective one. MAC captures the early-mid 50’s ethos and the sun-drenched pastels of Miami that we would see years later in Miami Vice. This is Miami vice before there was a Miami Vice.The plotting is tight and there are a number of classic Mike Hammer one-liners. Reading the story it would be impossible to estimate how much Mickey had left and how much Max had added. This is seamless, Mike Hammer joy.

About half the previous works and a first chapter used for another published novel: The Girl Hunters.Reworking the beginning with another fragment, Collins has given us a superb story that finds Mike on another bender because Velda walked out on him four months previous with a one word note: "Good-bye."It takes Pat Chambers to clue him in after Mike learns of the murder of an old cop friend of the both of them. Velda is in Miami keeping company with a hood named Nolly Quinn.Velda had been a vice cop when Mike met her and the murdered cop had put them together. They had to be some connection there.An out of shape Mike, four months of drinking and not working will do that, heads to Miami to figure it out.Author Collins continues to add to the Hammer tales and add to the legacy of one of the genre's best writers.Recommended.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Five Stars For This Slice Of Hardboiled Goodness By Dave Wilde Hard-hitting! Action-packed! Pulpy! Awesome! This is the twentieth Mike Hammer novel, the first thirteen published in Spillane's lifetime and the last seven a collaborative effort between Spillane's notes and outlines and Collins' work. This one may be more Collins than Spillane, but, in the end, does it really matter who wrote which chapters? It's a brand new Mike Hammer novel! As long as it has Mike and Velda and Pat in it and as long as Mike doesn't take any nonsense from any two-bit punk, it is a must-read.This one takes Mike and Velda back to 1954 and the action whisks Mike and the readers all the way to South Florida.And it is dripping with pulpy goodness right from the first page. Mike's been drinking steadily for four months since Velda left a note and disappeared and now he's just stumbling around in the gutter, looking for someone to pick a fight with.Velda is his secretary and a part of the greatest love story to ever grace the printed page. Tall, lithe, with black pageboy hair and a body that looked like it just stepped out of a calendar. But, except for a bottle, Mike's all alone. He's tight as a bowstring with his brain "a seething, squirming nasty mess that wouldn't let (him) think." And Velda's gone and with someone else.This book is as good as it gets. If you've never read Spillane before, this is as good a place to start as any. If you've read everything published since "I, The Jury," you'll eat this up like you haven't had a full meal in a year.
