Reviews
"The plot feels very modern and I can see this being a movie. A nice Bloody Mary and a Old-Fashioned up pairs well when reading "King of the Weeds." - Retrenders

"Comes to an exciting conclusion and the final page of the story does not dissappoint. A great ending to an intriguing tale that keeps the reader guessing." - Geek Hard

"For fans of the detective true crime genre, King of the Weeds will be right up your alley. Max Allan Collins does a superb job of channelling the voice that Spillane used in all of his Hammer novels." - City of Films

"Tremendously engaging and impossible to put down." - Comic Book Resources

"pure hard boiled...books like this are why I started reading crime fiction" - Crimespree Magazine


"Collins has remained faithful to the original style of Spillane with a Mike Hammer who is much older in age but just as hard boiled as ever. "King of the Weeds" is a great addition to the series. - Midwest Book Review
