The Maltese Falcon
By Dashiell Hammett.
Introduction by Richard
Russo.
First published 1930.

Description:
“Hammett … wrote scenes
that seemed never to have been written before.” – Raymond Chandler.
Detective Sam Spade is a
private eye with his own solitary code of ethics. When his partner is killed
during a stakeout, he is drawn into the hunt for a fantastic treasure with a
dubious provenance – a golden bird encrusted with jewels. Also on the trail are
a perfumed grifter named Joel Cairo, an oversized adventurer named Gutman, and
Spade’s new client Brigid O’Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman
whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime.
These are the
ingredients of Dashiell Hammett’s coolly glittering gem of detective fiction, a
novel that has haunted generations of readers.
“Hammett’s
prose [is] clean and entirely unique. His characters [are] as sharply and
economically defined as any in American fiction.” – The New York Times.
