Would you believe me if I told you that I killed him stone dead and that the granny was mortified - that she nearly woke the whole street roaring - 'Jesus, Mary and Joseph! We'll all be lifted!'"<br><br>In a paint-splattered room, a successful Irish painter confronts a shocking and murderous past - the memory that has haunted him for over twenty years - that dark day on the beach in Donegal, when he killed a paleontologist with his own geological hammer. His life is further disrupted by the beautiful Billie Maguire, an Ingrid Bergman lookalike who leads him all the way to Prague and involves him - and his grandmother - in yet another grievous crime.<br><br>Featuring cameos from Elvis Presley, Shirley Temple and the Pope, The Little Hammer is work of comic genius. 1715472 2000 The Little Hammer total:2|5:1|3:1| 2 8 4 2 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Aug 17 02:24:19 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 02:36:10 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Aug 15 08:08:43 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 08:09:02 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jul 20 09:35:52 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 09:35:58 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 12 02:16:43 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 02:16:43 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1718136
