''One Lonely Night'' (1951) is Mickey Spillane's fourth novel featuring private investigator Mike Hammer. ==Plot summary== After having been berated by a Judge, Mike Hammer goes for a walk on a rainy night in Manhattan and comes across a terrified woman and her pursuer on a bridge. He kills the man but the woman, terrified, jumps to her death from the bridge. Both possessed oddly shaped green cards. Hammer's friend in the police department, Chambers, identifies them as membership cards for the local Communist Party. Mike attends a meeting and is mistaken for a Soviet MGB spy. Next day, Chambers tells Hammer that Lee Deamer, a political candidate running on an anti-corruption ticket has an insane twin brother, Oscar. Chambers asks Hammer to take care of the problem, but when Hammer goes to Oscar's address he runs off and throws himself in front of a train, leaving his body unrecognisable. Deamer tells Hammer that Oscar was trying to blackmail him with documents, now missing, and asks Hammer to recover the documents. Hammer, hindered by the Communists, eventually works out where the stolen papers are and retrieves them. The Communists kidnap Hammer's secretary, Velda, and try to bargain—her life for the papers. Hammer assaults their hideout, kills them all and rescues Velda. Finally, Hammer meets again with Deamer. Hammer accuses Deamer of in fact being Oscar and of being a communist. He kills him too.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://graemeshimmin.com/one-lonely-night-book-review/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One Lonely Night」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
