Many of his thrillers featured his signature detective Mike Hammer. By 1980 Spillane was responsible for seven of the top fifteen all-time bestselling fiction titles in America. He died in 2006, leaving several novels in draft, asking his friend, the thriller writer Max Allan Collins, to complete them.
