Publisher's Synopsis
Mike Hammer's deadly final adventure challenges everything we knew about the enduring noir detective in this gripping finale with a shocking twist. The concluding Hammer novel begins with a 21st century funeral before flashing back to summer, 1970. Six 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, Willa. Willa 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 Willa gets hooked on heroin, Hamm-filled with contempt for dope dealers-goes on a rampage. He will find the man behind the drug racket and teach him what shooting up is all about. But a final resolution awaits him in the future at that funeral....
