The book maintains its structural integrity and presents handsomely, with no major flaws or tears to its binding. The original unclipped dust jacket remains fully intact, showing only signs of careful handling and storage; primarily minor edge-wear, light rubbing to the panels, and slight chipping at the spine extremities. Beneath the jacket, the original blue cloth boards are exceptionally clean and tight, with the silver spine lettering remaining unoxidised and sharp. The text block is firmly bound; while the page edges and preliminary leaves display the moderate tanning and light foxing characteristic of mid-century British paper stock, the interior pages remain clean, supple, and entirely readable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This copy is the seventh impression of the first United Kingdom edition, issued in April 1956. The dust jacket features the original period artwork, perfectly capturing the moody, pulp-noir aesthetic emblematic of 1950s hardboiled crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinding a 1950s cloth-bound printing with its original dust jacket intact is increasingly scarce. This volume represents a highly collectible era of Mike Hammer fiction, predating the explosion of cheaper paperback runs, making it an excellent bridge piece for a mid-century thriller collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMike Hammer, Mickey Spillane's iconic and unrelenting private investigator, finds himself wandering the misty, rain-swept streets of New York City in \u003ci\u003eOne Lonely Night\u003c\/i\u003e. The narrative quickly plunges Hammer into a dark, sprawling conspiracy involving Communist subversion and a stolen cache of secret government documents. A gripping tale of Cold War paranoia mixed with Spillane's trademark visceral action and vigilante justice, the story explores the psychological toll of Hammer's brutal worldview while delivering a pulse-pounding, quintessentially hardboiled thriller.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54566027821395,"sku":"5031","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260809_192551.jpg?v=1786519505","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/one-lonely-night-mickey-spillane-7th-impression","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
