"I killed more people tonight than I have fingers on my hand. I shot them in cold blood and enjoyed every minute of it. I pumped slugs in the nastiest bunch of bastards you ever saw and here I am calmer than I've ever been, and happy too. They were Communists, Lee. They were red sons of bitches who should have died long ago."
-Mike Hammer
I haven't gotten to that part, in the books I've put away to date. I'll tell you when I do. I dunno what I think of Detective Hammer so far. He's a tough guy that knows how to use his fist. But he named his 1911. "Betsy". Even though he lost it and had to replace Betsy in the second book. It's a gun, not a girl.
Mr. Hammer feels fine because:
In 1967, Polish mercenary Rafal Ganowicz was asked what it felt like to take human life, “I wouldn’t know, I’ve only ever killed communists.”
Well.
