New Adventures of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, Vol. 2 - audiobook

This fully dramatized audio adventure with sound effects and music is a follow-up toThe New Adventures of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, Vol. 1, which was a finalist for the prestigious Audie(R) Award in 2009.Private eye Mike Hammer is no stranger to murder, but this time he has two to untangle: the killing of the Captain, a legless, homeless panhandler, dismissed by the police as "minor," and the slaying of gambling kingpin Marty Wellman. Marty's lady friend, Helen Venn, turns to the PI for help when the Mob fingers her for the next kill. Seems the new kingpin, Carmen Rich-with whom Hammer has a violent history-thinks Helen made off with ten mil in skim money courtesy of her late lover. But Mike Hammer knows a damsel in distress when he sees one and takes up Helen's cause, igniting a series of hit attempts on his life by a small army of out-of-town shooters. Such minor distractions can't prevent the toughest detective of them all from solving two murders and avenging a "little death" in a big way.
