Mickey Splillaine died.

LA TIMES OBIT

He was a lousy writer, had the mind of maladjusted teenager and referred to his readers as customers, never fans. His work, however, inspired one perfect movie (Kiss Me Deadly) and an entertaining television show (wiith Darren McGavin). I'm sure there are many around here who will miss him.

RIP Mike Hammer.

With respect, Jake, this is a case in which beauty truly was in the eye of the beholder.

He was such a strong writing stylist that I regard him as one of the definitive detective writers of the last century. I always enjoyed his work.
