Following the author's demise, the first of "five substantial Mike Hammer manuscripts," "The Goliath Bone", was completed by his friend and colleague Max Allan Collins and published in 2008.  Additional books based on Spillane's unfinished manuscripts have since been released, including "Lady, Go Die!"  (2012), "Complex 90" (2013) and "King of the Weeds" (2014).  "King of the Weeds" is a direct sequel to "Black Alley." Malgosia Tomassi is a former Polish-American fashion model and actress.  Tomassi presently works as an interior designer.

"Murder Me, Murder You" was the first of two pilots featuring Keach in the part - the other being "More Than Murder" - that blazed a path for the 1980s version of the CBS series "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" which debuted on January 28, 1984.
