Mickey Spillane

Mickey Spillane (1918-2006) was an American writer known for his hardboiled crime fiction, particularly the Mike Hammer series. His books have sold over 225 million copies globally, and at one point, seven of his titles ranked among the top 15 bestselling novels in the United States. His work was notable for its higher levels of sex and violence than what was typical at the time. After his passing, his friend Max Allan Collins continued the Mike Hammer legacy. Spillane published his first novel, I, the Jury, in 1947, and his last complete work was Something Down There in 2003, while 2007’s Dead Street was completed by Collins. Below is a list of Mickey Spillane’s books (including those by Max Allan Collins based on his characters) in the order of their original release.
