The king of hard-boiled fiction presents a third collection of his acclaimed mysteries. In 'The Girl Hunters', Hammer's voluptuous long-lost love is targeted by the mastermind assassin known as the Dragon. In 'The Snake', while protecting a runaway blonde, Hammer trades barbs and lead with crooked politicos, snarling hoods and sex-hungry females. Finally, in 'The Twisted Thing', a kidnapping case links Hammer to a 14-year-old mystery and the most venomous killer the private eye has ever faced.
