And this is what happens when you google search "blond" "gun" and "cover."
If the name Mickey Spillane was not present, I would seriously think this was the title of a soft-core porn.

That's Sherri Spillane on the cover, who was Mick's wife at the time. When the hardcover was published, it was the first one in U.S. publishing history with a photo of a naked woman on the cover. Sold like hotcakes.
ReplyDeleteAfter they divorced, Sherri became a "celebrity" agent, with clients like Joey Buttafuco, John Wayne Bobbitt, etc....
Chris,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info behind that cover. That's a hell of a story on it's own.
