Recommended reading - The Big Knockover and Other Stories by Dashiell Hammett (1981):
The Big Knockover and Other Stories
By Dashiell Hammett.
Published by Harmondsworth: Penguin Books.
Published 1981.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0140029419
ISBN-13: 978-0140029413
Description:
Nine short stories. Includes the unfinished
novel, Tulip, and a memoir by Lillian Hellman. Short, thick-bodied, mulishly
stubborn, and indifferent to physical pain, Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op
was the prototype for generations of tough-guy detectives. He is also the hero
of most of the nine stories in this volume. The Op's one enthusiasm is doing
his job, and in The Big Knockover the jobs entail taking on a gang of
modern-day freebooters, a vice-ridden hell's acre in the Arizona desert, and
the bank job to end all bank jobs, along with such assorted grifters as Babe
McCloor, Bluepoint Vance, Alphabet Shorty McCoy, and the Dis-and-Dat Kid.
