I, the Jury
My Gun is Quick
Vengeance is Mine!
In Mickey Spillane's classic detective novels, the action exploded in a bone-crunching catharsis. Men and women didn't make love, they collided. Tough brutes used their fists to drive home a message. Tougher broads used guile. And no one's morals were loftier than the gutter. No apologies. Little redemption. They rendered critics powerless, shocked intellectuals, inspired a new wave of pulp mayhem, and left the public hungry for more.
Given their hot, fever-pitch prose and breathless pacing, Spillane’s Mike Hammer novels quickly became one of the most successful series in publishing history—an innovative, no-holds-barred, ultravisceral explosion of sex and violence that made Hammer a literary legend, and Spillane, one of the bestselling authors of all time. After fifty years, neither has lost their power to sucker punch the reader.
Find out for yourself in this omnibus featuring the first three Mike Hammer novels by the living master of the hard-boiled mystery...

Fans of hard-boiled detective novels will relish the return of three Mickey Spillane classics in The Mike Hammer Collection: I, the Jury, My Gun Is Quick, Vengeance Is Mine. Packed with heavy doses of testosterone, fast action, brutality and sensuality, these three tales depict the darker side of the post-WWII era, a time when tough-guy vigilantes like Hammer were admired, villains were unrepentantly sinister and women were sexy but dangerous. This volume is the first in a series of three-in-one Hammer collections and a fitting tribute to a writer who revolutionized a genre.
