(Gardner would play himself in Spillane’s 1963 “The Girl Hunters.”) “Since Cuba has tied in so close with Commie Russia and China the narcotic import has increased with Cuba the jumping off point and the garlic brotherhood in Italy cut off. It’s so serious in Europe that a big personality formerly deported from the U.S. is due in Cuba to parlay with Castro and rumor has it (Rumor hell, this is classified) that it will be Lucky himself…I’m going to follow it up some, but out of gunshot range.” This letter is vintage Spillane: his Mike Hammer mysteries often had Cold War themes. But in light of the soon-to-happen Kennedy assassination with reputed Mob ties and a nexus from Russia to Cuba, there is more than a whiff of real mystery here.
