Spillane, huh? How about this classic bit from " The Body Lovers " :

 

He stood with his back angled to the wall. To an indifferent

observer he was simply in idle conversation, but it wasn't like that

at all. This was an instinctive gesture of survival, being in constant

readiness for an attack. His head didn't turn and his eyes didn't seem

to move, but I knew he saw us. I could feel the hackles on the back of

my neck stiffening and I knew he felt the same way.

Dog was meeting dog. Nobody knew it but the dogs and they

weren't telling.

He was bigger than I thought. The suggestion of power I had

seen in his photographs was for real. When he moved it was with the

ponderous grace of some jungle animal, dangerously deceptive, because

he could move a lot faster if he had to.

When we were ten feet away he pretended to see us for the

first time and a wave of charm washed the cautious expression from his

face and he stepped out to greet Dulcie with outstretched hand.

But it wasn't her he was seeing. It was me he was watching.

I was one of his own kind. I couldn't be faked out and wasn't leashed

by the proprieties of society. I could lash out and kill as fast as he

could and of all the people in the room, I was the potential threat. I

knew what he felt because I felt the same way myself.
