Mike Hammer is not the world's greatest detective; he uses his fists more than his brain. He often simply kills criminals in cold blood rather than turn them over to the cops. A one man judge, jury and executioner --- hard drinking, hard loving and always in trouble with the law and the underworld.Just read THE GIRL HUNTERS (1962) and am finishing up its sequel, THE SNAKE (1964). These books are astonishingly violent, sleazy and cruel for their time (1950s/60s), but written so well as to be compulsively page-turning. I went out and bought almost the entire series at my used bookstore for a couple bucks each. Am noticing that with some obvious tweaking, these books might translate well to a medieval fantasy game, particularly one concerned with politics, corruption and crime...
