Synopsis

Mike Hammer, the toughest PI of all, draws a seemingly routine assignmentplaying bodyguard to diva Rita Vance on the eve of her big Broadway comeback. But Rita is an old flame of Hammers, and when their romance is rekindled, the detective finds the actress facing death threats and himself the target of one hit man after another. When the actress disappears, the show must go on, which with Mike Hammer means swift, violent retaliation. While the cops and feds go down a false trail, Hammer seeks to make a rescue before Ritas curtain comes down. But first he must make sense of a mystery that takes him from a Soho art gallery to a mountain lodge, from Little Italy to a waterfront confrontation that is way, way off Broadway. Working from the plot for an unwritten novel found in the files of the late Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition) has fashioned a compelling noir thriller that is vintage Mike Hammer all the way.

That, coupled with some very cheesy dialog and uncharacteristic Hammer lines, made ENCORE FOR MURDER just an average take it or leave it Mike Hammer story for me. Which is a shame considering how much I en......more

Goodreads review by Michael on July 12, 2020

With a thoroughly derivative plot and mediocre writing by Max Allan Collins the only thing to recommend this direct to audio thriller is the performance of Stacy Keach. He is very good playing a character that should have been retired long ago.......more

Audiobook version: Just like listening to an old-time radio show. LOVED IT. Stacy Keach was my heart throb in the 80’s TV series and his voice in these audio books still does it for me. Oh the nostalgia!......more
