Some people will do anything for money - even kill. For crime that pays, these seventeen original stories - as hard-edged as the butt of a .38 and selected for this volume by tough guy Mickey Spillane himself - focus on the blood-chilling business of murder for hire. This is detective fiction descended from the school of hard knocks and steel fists perfected by Mike Hammer - although today the sexy dame with big blue eyes may be sizing up her target, not batting her eyelashes.
