Mickey Spillane Knihy

Kniha obsahuje dva detektivní romány známého amerického autora, jehož dílo vychází z tradice americké drsné školy. Oba romány spojuje postava hlavního hrdiny, soukromého detektiva Mika Hammera, který často ne zcela legálními prostředky a s nasazením života řeší komplikované případy surových vražd.

Dva detektivní romány amerického autora ovlivněného drsnou školou a hlavně tvorbou Raymonda Chandlera. V českém jazyce byla již vydána samostatné pod názvy „Rychlá je má zbraň“ a „Velké vraždění“. Oba příběhy spojuje nejen postava soukromého detektiva, muže, který pod drsnou slupkou skrývá smysl pro spravedlnost, neúplatnost a soucit s lidmi na okraji společnosti, ale v obou případech i vyděračský motiv.

Soukromý detektiv Mike Hammer řeší tentokrát případ muže, který zemřel s jeho vlastní pistolí v ruce. Přestože mu státní návladní odejme licenci i zbraň, Mike za pomoci své sekretářky Veldy případ dovede až do překvapivého rozuzlení.

V tomto románu, který je řazen k jeho nejlepším, se záhadný Johny McBride vrací do města Lyncastle, aby pomstil svého kamaráda. Toho zde údajně podvedli a pak vyštvali pryč. Během napínavého děje však zjišťujeme, že sám Johnny neví nic o své minulosti, protože ztratil paměť, a jedinou jeho utkvělou myšlenkou je touha po pomstě. Ale je jeho pomsta oprávněná? Neuvěřitelně napínavý děj končí zcela nečekaným rozuzlením, které se čtenář dozvídá až bezmála v poslední větě. Vydal Albatros

Ten den, o kterém vyprávím, mi ta zrzohlávka řekla ahoj. Všechno, co chtěla, byla výživná strava a někdo, s kým by si promluvila... Skončilo to tak, že jsem rozbil hubu nějakýmu dobytku, kterej se pletl do věcí té dámy - a o pár hodin později ležela ve škarpě mrtvá. Není mým ustálenýmzvykem zachraňovat lehké dámy, ale pokud je pěkná, stojí to za námahu a pokud je mrtvá, působí mi to bolest. To je ta nejlepší omluva, kterou znám pro to, abych si dokazoval, jak Rychlá je má zbraň. Mimochodem, jmenuji se Mike Hammer.

Jmenuji se Hammer. Jsem souhromý detektiv; nejspíš jste mne nikdy nepotkali. Mého přítele taky ne. Býval to můj kámoš, ale je teď mrtev. Zavraždili ho. Udělal to podlý chlap, který se u při tom smál. Když se taková věc stane, nejraději bych všechno roztřískal. Chci se dívat, jak se vrahpřede mnou plazí, jak škemrá o slitování. Pak můj ukazován stiskne spoušť. Mám ale své problémy. Jakmile narazím na stopu, ukáže se krásná ženská. A těm se nedá věřit. Pat Chamberts z oddělení vražd jde po vrahovi také. Když ho dostane, strčí ho před porotu. Jenže když ho chytnu sám, já budu porota, a taky soudce a mistr popravčí.

He makes his own clients""). This is so straight that Burke (you'll like him) is even romancing a girl.

Sono pupe, pallottole e colpi in canna. Sono gli occhi neri e i nasi rotti dei gialli con protagonista Mike Hammer, veri hard-boiled, massicci e politicamente scorretti. Mickey Spillane, sceneggiatore di fumetti, ha creato un originale che ha ispirato troppi imitatori. Si diceva usasse la macchina da scrivere come una mitraglietta, producendo una cartella ogni cinque minuti, con spogliarelliste come pin-up per le sue copertine. In una nuova traduzione, la prima edizione integrale mai pubblicata in Italia, risorgono tre romanzi: Ti ucciderò (I, the Jury), La vendetta è mia (Vengeance is Mine!) e Una ragazza e una pistola (My Gun is Quick). Questa infausta trinità dimostra che uno è troppo poco e un quarto ucciderebbe. Quentin Tarantino li esalta, James Ellroy ne è entusiasta e Charles Bukowski li considerava esempi di sanguigna letteratura da strada. Negli anni Cinquanta scandalizzarono, ma oggi sono qui per farsi (ri)scoprire come classici della letteratura popolare. Mickey Spillane è tornato e non si leverà di torno facilmente.
