Vintage Hammett

Sam Spade, Nick and Nora Charles, The Continental Op. In his novels and stories, Dashiell Hammett created some of the most memorable characters--detectives, dames, and assorted miscreants--in twentieth-century fiction. It is nearly impossible to imagine modern American literature without Hammett. Vintage Hammett features episodes from Red Harvest, The Maltese Falcon, The Dain Curse, and The Thin Man; and stories featuring the Continental Op, including "The House in Turk Street, " "The Girl with the Silver Eyes, " and "Flypaper." It also includes the story "Nightshade" which has not been available in over fifty years.
Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers, presented in attractive, affordable paperback editions.
