You also brought back memories of my absolute favorite detective from my early years--Shell Scott. My friends and I used to wait eagerly for another Shell Scott to be published. After school, we gathered at my house because my mom worked, so we'd have privacy. I'd read Shell Scott out loud to them while they did my chores! Mike Hammer was another crush of my youth, and I did get to know Mickey Spillane during his later years here in SC. He was much more of a gentleman than Mike Hammer!Fran Rizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08655783035179620991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-3336431014371539042011-10-24T10:17:45.528-04:002011-10-24T10:17:45.528-04:00To this day I remember sitting in an airport with ...To this day I remember sitting in an airport with The Key to Rebecca and reading that great first line by Follett.
