Requests:  0 Summary:  "There has never been a full-length biography of Mickey Spillane, the most popular and influential mystery writer of his era--until now. Beginning in 1947 with I, the Jury, and continuing with his next six novels, Spillane quickly amassed a readership in the tens of millions, becoming the bestselling novelist in the history of American publishing. Surrounded by controversy for the overt violence and suggestive sexual content of his iconic Mike Hammer private eye novels, Spillane was loathed by critics but beloved by his readers. There is, however, more to Spillane's life than the books. He also starred as Hammer in a movie, was a circus performer, worked with the FBI in capturing a notorious criminal, and starred in Miller Light beer commercials that were so popular they ran for a quarter of a century. Max Allan Collins became Spillane's friend and collaborator, continuing the Mike Hammer series for years after the author's death, building upon unfinished manuscripts the writer left behind. Now, with co-author James Traylor, Collins has produced the first comprehensive and authoritative profile of the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master. It is a must-read for any fan of the author--or of the generations of crime writers that were influenced by his work"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Biography B Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 813.54 Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.54 Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 813.54 Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Biography B Spillane Co Checked In Add Copy to MyList
