The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett

First published in 1930, The Maltese Falcon stands today as one of the classics of both suspense literature and American writing. nA coolly glittering gem of detective fiction that has haunted three generations of readers, from one of the greatest mystery writers of all time. nA treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private eye with his own solitary code of ethics. A perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man name Gutman, and 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 iconic, influential, and beloved The Maltese Falcon.n
