Two M.A.C. books hit the shelves today: THE CONSUMMATA, Mickey Spillane’s long-awaited follow-up to THE DELTA FACTOR; and CHICAGO LIGHTNING, the collected Nathan Heller short stories. Also, another anthology coming out today, THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES 2011, features Max’s Shamus-nominated Mike Hammer short story, “A Long Time Dead.”

M.A.C.’s regularly scheduled post follows, but don’t worry, it’ll still be there after you come back from buying these books!
