Long Wait

by Mickey Spillane

It is a dark, gloomy tale filled with hoods and femme fatales. It is the story of Johnny McBride returning to his hometown after many years away, returning to find every cop and hood want him gone or dead and the rest of the town isn’t too keen on him hanging around either.
