About the Book and Author
"I'm one of the few—if there are any more—people moderately literate who take the detective story seriously. I don't mean that I necessarily take my own or anybody else's seriously—but the detective story as a form. Some day somebody's going to make 'literature' of it…and I'm selfish enough to have my hopes."
-Dashiell Hammett in a 1928 letter to Blanche Knopf
