BOOK SYNOPSIS
A treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private eye with his own solitary code of ethics. A perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man name Gutman, and Brigid OShaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime. These are the ingredients of Dashiell Hammetts coolly glittering gem of detective fiction, a novel that has haunted three generations of readers.
BOOK REVIEWS
Dashiell Hammett . . . is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer. The Boston Globe
The Maltese Falcon is not only probably the best detective story we have ever read, it is an exceedingly well written novel. The Times Literary Supplement (London)
Hammetts prose [is] clean and entirely unique. His characters [are] as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction. The New York Times
