The Big Knockover

In the detective novels of Dashiell Hammett, the founder of the “hard-boiled” detective genre, the professional sleuth appears as a champion of justice, a judge, an arbiter of fate, and even an avenging executioner.
In his works, the writer makes us reflect on the system of values and the way of life of people in the modern world. He is troubled by the loss of true moral bearings, notions of duty, honor, and freedom of conscience. Therefore, gunshots often ring out on the pages of his novels, and blood is spilled…
The author’s skill and wit will make you smile at the most gripping moment of the narrative.
