Spillane writes with speed, and the rough-hewn poetry of his narrator creates a fantasy city, a NewYork of myth and dream, populated by the same character types as those found in the work of Daly, Hammett, and Chandler - good girls, black widows, thugs, frustrated cops, gang lords, corrupt society leaders - but delivered with a unique fever-dream fervor.- Max Allan Collins in Mystery & Suspence Writers, vol. 2, ed. by Robin W. Winks, 1998

Spillane gives me the feeling of hearing a military band in a public park.' - Ayn Rand
