Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Created by acclaimed detective-noir author Mickey Spillane, private eye Mike Hammer (Stacy Keach) is a hard-boiled, two-fisted detective who mixes it up with tough guys on a mission, clean and dirty cops on the beat and drop-dead gorgeous dames with plenty of attitude. A steamy throwback to the classic film noir thrillers of the 50's. Mike Hammer is one tough cookie.
