Description:

Sam Spade is the tall, tough, smart private detective made famous by Dashiell Hammett in his superb detective novel, The Maltese Falcon. His appearance in the three short stories which make up The Adventures of Sam Spade is good news for his admirers and even better news for those who have yet to meet him. As Sam says, “There ought to be a law making criminals give themselves up…” but since there isn’t one is better qualified than he to take the place of that law. He’s not a fictional detective, not given to elaborate analysis of the crime nor to elaborate restaging of it in front of all the suspects in the hope that one will break down; he’s an honest-to-God detective, astute and industrious enough to find out everything possible and then figure the angles from what he knows.

In addition to the three Adventures of Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett has included here four brilliant short stories, each one terse, masculine, and eminently readable, yet one different in theme and handling. The Assistant Murderer tells of a complicated case neatly solved by Alexander Rush, the detective who is so ugly that people just naturally think he is crooked. Night Shade is a vivid sketch with an O. Henry Ending. The Judge Laughed Last is a story so funny that you’ll be laughing even when the judge is through. And His Brother’s Keeper is a fine prize fight tale told by a tough, dumb, honest and likable fighter.

Contents: Too Many Have Lived; They Can Only Hang You Once; A Man Called Spade; The Assistant Murderer; Night Shade; The Judge Laughed Last; His Brother's Keeper.
