Kill Me, Darling

A Mike Hammer Novel

By: Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins

Narrated by: Stacy Keach

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 - a 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, now 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 turned gun moll in Florida?

Terrific!

This is by far the best Spillane novel ever! It grabs you from the first sentence and holds you to the last.

And Stacy Keach is, of course, perfect.

A reall MH zinger

It’s a little difficult to track with all the names but it is absolutely worth the emphasis! Highly recommended!

best Hammer book I've read

Hammer seems to have gotten better with age. In this installment I have found a sympathetic character in Hammer, great, descriptive and evocative writing that is a pleasure all on its own, and a story that is as enjoyable as the test. I can now say I am a fan.

Another Finger Gripper

As usual keep me interested and on the edge of my seat. Mickey and Mike never disappoint me.

Clever, suspenveful entertainment well delivered

Mickey Spillane masterfully ties multiple, very distinctive parts together into a solved puzzle that is a beautiful portrait of a mystery told through Stacey Keach's superb narration. Very entertaining.
