About This Book
Private detective Sam Spade takes on a client whose story falls apart the moment his partner is shot dead on a night-time tail job, and he is soon caught between the police, a beautiful liar and a trio of ruthless collectors all hunting the same object: a jewel-encrusted statuette of a falcon, lost for centuries. Hammett's hard-boiled classic strips the detective story down to greed, betrayal and a code of conduct that Spade keeps to for reasons he never quite explains.
