Description

Samuel Dashiel Hammett (1894–1961) is one of the most popular American writers, a classic of the detective genre, and the creator of a literary trend later called the “hard-boiled detective.” What characterizes his works is the dynamic development of the plot, keeping the reader in constant tension—never allowing you to be distracted for a minute from the book.

The gangster dilogy “The Big Knockover” and “Red Harvest,” featuring one lone hero, an indefatigable fighter against crime—`an operative from the detective agency “Continental.”`
