Prose: non-fiction, Crime & mystery
The bestselling author of shoot-em-up crime fiction is back with a twisty new tale starring his iconic tough hero Mike Hammer.
On an amateur dig in Israel, two students discover what appears to be the femur of a very large humanoid, and it's likely to be the thigh bone of the Biblical giant, Goliath. Back in New York, they are heading into the subway carrying the carefully wrapped bone when a hitman attempts to kill them. Hammer comes to their rescue, though it's only the beginning of their troubles
