King of the Weeds
Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins
Series: Mike Hammer (19th)
Hammer finds himself up against a clever serial killer targeting only cops. A killer his old friend Captain Pat Chambers had put away many years ago is suddenly freed on new, seemingly indisputable evidence, and Hammer wonders if this seemingly placid, very odd old man might somehow be engineering cop killings that all seem to be either accidental or by natural causes.
At the same time Hammer and Velda are dealing with the fallout — some of it mob, some of it federal government — over the $89 billion dollar cache the detective is (rightly) suspected of finding not long ago.
