Mike Hammer - Baby, It's Murder
معلومات عن هذا الكتاب الإلكتروني
The concluding Hammer novel begins with a 21st-century funeral before flashing back to summer, 1973.
Nine years after the events of Dig Two Graves, Hammer takes another unlikely vacation - this time on Long Island to help look after his partner Velda Sterling's seventeen-year-old sibling, Mikki.
Mikki must deal with the attention of two boys vying for her affection – Hammer preferring the good kid from a wealthy family over the long-haired doper with an Easy Rider vibe. When Mikki gets hooked on heroin, Hammer – filled with contempt for dope dealers – goes on a rampage. He will find those behind the drug racket and teach them what shooting up is all about.
But a final resolution awaits him in the future at that funeral...
