His books have sold over 225 million copies worldwide, with seven titles once ranking in the top 15 bestselling novels in the U.S. Spillane's work was notable for its increased levels of sex and violence compared to contemporaries. After his death, the Mike Hammer series was continued by his friend Max Allan Collins.
