*********** Really? Well, I can mention a few ways that I see
The Real Cool Killers as being similar to Spillane's Mike
Hammer novels.
1. His two protagonists are raging extemists.
2. The protagonists see violence as a favored option in
dealing with anyone who gets in the way of them achieving
their goals.
3. The goals of the protagonists do not exactly parallel the
law.
4. The protagonists live in a violent and crime-filled
world.
5. When the protagonists occasionally decide to exhibit a
little compassion, a fallen woman is a standard choice.
6. The protagonists succeed because of their violent
vigilante ways.
