Mike Hammer, Private Eye

After a friend is killed investigating the death of his son, Mike keeps following the trail, leading to Russian mobsters.

An accused polluter hires Mike but then the reporter who did an expose on the him is found dead making him a murder suspect.

Hammer is hired to look into the disappearance of a girl who may have been killed in a ""snuff film"" shown on the internet.

When a basketball player's sports agent is murdered just before he becomes the number one pick in the draft, he turns to Mike to prove his innocence. Was it the player, Mayron Hughes; his father Norton ""Norrie"" Hughes; his childhood friend who was injured and now has a licensing business, Desmond Ishmael; his new sports agent, Susan Wake; or his teammate and competitor, Elvin Grace?

Mike flies to tinseltown to help an actress accused of murdering her lover and producer.

Someone seems to be targeting Hammer's friends in the style of a cultist killer whom Mike put in jail.
