Synopsis
Mickey Spillane is the legendary crime writer credited with igniting the explosion of paperback publishing after World War II as a result of the unprecedented success of his Mike Hammer novels. Spillane's novels sold tens of millions of copies - I, The Jury went through more than 60 paperback printings in 1947 alone. In addition to the Mike Hammer books, Spillane wrote standalone suspense novels such as The Delta Factor , which introduced the hero of The Consummata . In 1995, he was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America. Before his death at the age of 88 in 2006, Spillane chose long-time friend Max Allan Collins to complete his unfinished work and act as his literary executor. Max Allan Collins is the best-selling, award-winning author of Road to Perdition , the graphic novel that inspired the Oscar-winning movie starring Paul Newman and Tom Hanks, and of the acclaimed Nathan Heller series of historical hardboiled mysteries. He has also written novels based on major movies and TV series ranging from Saving Private Ryan , Air Force One , and American Gangster to CSI and NYPD Blue . Also a filmmaker himself, Collins' films include Shades of Noir , Real Time , and the documentary Mike Hammer's Mickey Spillane .
