Eye to the Stars,” from the scene of the crime to Hollywood’s
seediest haunts, from striptease joints to Washington D.C.’s
corridors of power to a deadly desert showdown outside Las Vegas,
all in pursuit of the truth about a conspiracy that may have put
the wrong man in jail, let the real killers go free, and snuffed
out the life of a man poised to become the next president of the
United States.

Veteran thief Nolan tangles with a skyjacker and vigilante in two
full-length novels from Grandmaster Max Allan Collins (Road to
Perdition), collected in one volume for the first time ever. It
Takes a Thief to Take a Thief. In the aftermath of a bloody heist,
Nolan and Jon find themselves flying home to count their ill-gotten
gains -- but a skyjacker taking the same flight has other plans.
Meanwhile, in Des Moines, someone is offing members of the
Mob-connected DiPreta family and the Mob thinks maybe Nolan can
make it stop. Maybe he can -- for a six-figure fee. Originally
published as two separate novels (and unavailable in bookstores for
40 years!), DOUBLE DOWN finds Nolan and Jon pursuing the American
dream in their inimitable criminal fashion. Flying high off his
recent return after more than three decades in SKIM DEEP, Nolan is
one of MWA Grand Master Max Allan Collins' most unforgettable
characters, and DOUBLE DOWN is Nolan at his hard-boiled, larcenous
best.

SOMETIMES IT BURIES YOU. Every professional thief knows you never
return to the scene of a crime. But what if you're forced to? In

the same bank they targeted in their debut novel, TWO FOR THE
MONEY, at the behest of an embezzling executive and a femme fatale
with dollar signs where her soul should be. And those aren't the
only figures resurfacing from the past either - the ruthless
Comfort clan is back to even old scores, and some members of the
Outfit are packing bullets with Nolan's name on them. With all
these forces marshalled against him, can even the toughest
professional hardcase come out on top?

BECAUSE HOMICIDE
BEGINS AT HOME
Even the enigmatic hit man called Quarry had to start somewhere.
And for him that was the day he returned stateside from Nam to find
his young wife cheating. He'd killed plenty overseas, so killing
her lover was no big deal. And when he was recruited to use his
skills as a contract killer, that transition was easy, too. He
survived in this jungle as he had in that other one -- by expecting
trouble.
What he didn't expect was ever running into his ex again....

mob...or would they bury him first? They don't come tougher than
Nolan - but even a hardened professional thief can't fight off the
entire Chicago mafia. So when an old friend offers to broker a
truce, Nolan accepts the terms. All he has to do is pull off one
last heist - and trust the Mob not to double cross him.

With a controversial presidential election just weeks away, Quarry
is given a rare political assignment: kill the Reverend Raymond
Wesley Lloyd, a passionate Civil Rights crusader and campaigner for
the underdog candidate. But when a hate group out of Ferguson,
Missouri, turns out to be gunning for the same target, Quarry
starts to wonder just who it is he's working for.
ASK NOT WHO YOU CAN KILL FOR YOUR COUNTRY. Now retired and happily
married, Quarry turns down a million-dollar contract to assassinate
a presidential candidate. It's not the sort of assignment you can
just walk away from without consequences, but coming after Quarry
has consequences, too.
A Triple-Shot Anthology From the Undisputed Master of Detective Fiction. In Mickey Spillane's classic detective novels, the action exploded in a bone-crunching catharsis. Men and women didn't make love, they collided. Tough brutes used their fists to drive home a message. Tougher broads used guile. And no one's morals were loftier than the gutter. No apologies. Little redemption. They rendered critics powerless, shocked intellectuals, inspired a new wave of pulp mayhem, and left the public hungry for more. Given their hot, fever-pitch prose and breathless pacing, Spillane’s Mike Hammer novels quickly became one of the most successful series in publishing history—an innovative, no-holds-barred, ultravisceral explosion of sex and violence that made Hammer a literary legend, and Spillane, one of the bestselling authors of all time. After fifty years, neither has lost their power to sucker punch the reader. Find out for yourself in this first-time ever omnibus featuring the first three Mike Hammer novels by the living master of the hard-boiled mystery…
Quarry is a professional: he kills when he's paid to kill, and he's
very good at it. No one has ever tagged him for one of his crimes.
But when a lovely young woman catches him in the act and uses video
she shot to force him to carry out a hit for her, Quarry faces a
difficult choice: give in to blackmail, or try to take down his
beautiful blackmailer?
