Book Reviews of Dead Street (Hard Case Crime)
Book Review: "The street wasn't dead yet.Not all the way."
Summary: 5 Stars
When I finished reading "Something's Down There",I felt that I had just read the last novel I would ever read by Spillane. I have read most of his novels since I first read his "I the Jury" back in the 50's while still in High School;and I still have most of them in my library.When I came across this paperback ,sitting on the bookshelf in the store;my attention was immediately taken by the cover. My first reaction was that it looked out of place and looked like something from the 50's.Then I noticed the name "Mickey Spillane".What a surprise ,a new novel,when I thought the great run of his novels was over.And now we find we may be in for a few more with the help of his friend Max Allan Collins and Hard Case Crime books.
A special mention is deserved to Arthur Suydam whose painting for the cover faithfully captures the style we came to love in the covers of Spillane's novels over the years.
It is also important to mention the efforts of Spillane's friend Max Allan Collins who actulally helped complete this novel,writing its last 3 chapters.Fans of that other great crime fighter,Dick Tracy,will also be familiar with his efforts in keeping that fantastic comic strip going.
So,once again,we get another engrossing crime story,fully in the style and action packed adventure that we have have come to love over the years.
We all miss Spillane's great stories;but if he were still with us;I am sure he would be taken by Collin's line on page 186;"I feel for you,Bucky. But like the man says,I just can't reach you." ;and be asking "I wonder if he was really talking to me here?"
Can't wait for another one;--thanks for keeping it all going.
