The Big Knockover: Selected Stories and Short Novels by Dashiell Hammett
Hammett's continental op - tough, tired, intelligent, a snap-brimmed Sir Galahad with a Browning - was the prototype for a whole new tradition of private eye thrillers.
Here are ten of his classic suspense stories from the twenties and thirties - selected and introduced by Lillian Hellman.
