From Publishers WeeklyOne of a handful of novels he was working on at the time of his death, this fine, perhaps final, work from hard-boiled fiction icon Spillane (1918–2006) was prepared for publication by Hard Case vet Max Allan Collins. In it, NYPD detective Jack Stang receives word that his old fiancee, Bettie, who supposedly died in a kidnapping-gone-wrong 20 years earlier, is still alive and residing in a small Florida coastal community. The good news is countered by the fact that, in the car crash that was supposed to have killed her, she lost her eyesight and all her memories. Even worse, the men who had her kidnapped in the first place have perfectly good memories and are still looking for her—and willing to kill for the information locked in her damaged brain. This is a more sentimental Spillane than readers might expect, but the women are still dolls, the bad guys are still louses, and the hero still packs a helluva punch (along with his trusty .45, natch). Spillane always said he wrote for his fans, not for the critics, but both should be pleased with this late addition to the writer's canon.

Product DescriptionTHE FINAL CRIME NOVEL FROM THE KING OF PULP FICTION!For 20 years, former NYPD cop Jack Stang has lived with the memory of his girlfriend’s death in an attempted abduction. But what if she didn’t actually die?

Вражаюче завершення творчості Спіллейна

Цей роман "Мертва вулиця" став справжнім відкриттям для мене. Як шанувальник детективного жанру, я завжди ціную глибокі емоції та напруженість сюжету, і ця книга не розчарувала. Джек Стенг, колишній поліцейський, який отримує шанс на відновлення своїх почуттів, є надзвичайно складним і багатогранним персонажем. Його боротьба за свою колишню наречену Бетті, яка, як виявляється, жива, але з серйозними травмами, створює потужний емоційний фон. Спіллейн вміло поєднує елементи трилера з глибокими людськими переживаннями, що робить цю книгу не лише захоплюючою, а й зворушливою. Я був вражений, як автор зміг передати відчуття втрати і надії, а також створити напружену атмосферу, в якій кожен поворот сюжету тримає в напрузі. Це дійсно гідне завершення його творчості, яке залишає слід у серці читача. Рекомендую всім, хто любить якісну детективну прозу!
