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 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 bestselling, 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. Also a filmmaker himself, Collins' films include the documentary Mike Hammer's Mickey Spillane.Les informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Collins completed the incomplete manuscript found after Spillane's death. He writes in his Co-Author's Note: "Half a dozen substantial Mike Hammer manuscripts were found among a wealth of unpublished material. 'Lady, Go Die!' constituted perhaps the most exciting find. Initially, I thought the brittle, yellow single-spaced pages were an earlier draft of 'The Twisted Thing' (published 1966, but written much earlier), because of the shared small-town setting and a few character names. As I read the manuscript, I realized this was something quite special -- the unfinished SECOND Mike Hammer novel. . . ." 267 pp., followed by 2 pp. publisher's ads for more books by these two authors (one deceased.).
