I just remembered that Mickey Spillane came out with a new Mike Hammer book late last year, _Black Alley_. Kind of surprising he - Spillane - isn't dead yet, to say nothing of Hammer. Has anyone read it? I'm a Spillane fan, but you have to admit some of his books, like the Tiger Mann series, are pretty ludicrous. I'm wondering if this one stands up to the earlier Hammers.
