About This Item

New York: E.P. Dutton, 1952. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Faint stain at the bottom of the spine and on rear endpapers, thus about very good lacking the dustwrapper. A poorly manufactured volume, the author's seventh novel and the basis for the hardboiled film noir of the same name, directed by Robert Aldrich, scripted by A.I. Bezzerides and starring Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer. The violent and inventive film was a major influence on the French New Wave directors and enjoys a considerable cult following.

Synopsis

A beautiful woman's cold-blooded murder has the mark of the Mafia. Although warned to stay away, Hammer won't stop until he gets revenge.
