Black Alley — Mickey Spillane

Mike Hammer is back--and in deeper trouble than ever before. He has the gunning down of an old army buddy to pay back with interest--and two generations of the most powerful family in the Mafia to beat at their own gory games. He has a missing chunk of vital memory blown out of his head by a bullet in his guts. But above all, there is a missing cache of $89 billion to find in a slick maze of false clues, phony stories, and brutal betrayals--before the had guys get their hands on it and their sights on him. And to really complicate matters, the Feds have dealt themselves into the game, eager to beat everybody to the loot.

With two rock-hard fists, a well-oiled .45. his beautiful secretary, Velda, and a miracle, Hammer might make it out of this one alive....
