...King Saud, by Mayor Robert Wagner in 1957 nearly precipitated an international incident. But no one appeared overly perturbed last week. The Waldorf rolled out the usual red carpet for the visiting monarch, the 35th-floor presidential suite was made fit for a King, and Feisal appeared content to dine (on cold shoulder?) in his quarters. "I think," said a Saudi official, "the King is above being angered by something trivial like this...

The action in Mickey Spillane's 18th book is embossed with his usual delicate imagery ("The sun was thumbing its nose at the night"), characterization ("On some people skin is skin, but on her it was an invitation to dine"), and grammar ("You lay there, kid"; "I thought I could discern shouts"). As always, the forces of law, order and decency prove no match for Spillane's private eye, whose impatience with those virtues amounts to a crusade. The people who lay around reading Spillane books-50 million copies sold...
