Get Complete Novels: Red Harvest / The Dain Curse / The Maltese Falcon / The Glass Key / The Thin Man Pictures. Dashiell hammett, the creator of sam spade, the maltese falcon, and the thin man, was one of. At some point i guess i really got into the hammett groove.
Hammett wrote more than 80 short stories and five novels:
He created tough guys sam spade and the continental op as well as debonaire sleuths nick and nora charles. The op figures out that. Red harvest (1929), a raucous and nightmarish evocation of political corruption and gang warfare in the op returns, in the dain curse (1929), to preside over a more ornately melodramatic tale his last novel, the thin man (1934), is a ruefully comic tale that pays homage to the traditional mystery. Inthe dain curse, the op takes on a wealthy young woman who appears to be the victim of a deadly family curse.
