RED HARVEST
When the last honest citizen of Poisonville was murdered, the Continental Op stayed on to punish the guilty—even if that meant taking on an entire town.
Red Harvest
is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.

THE THIN MAN
Nick and Nora Charles are Hammett’s most enchanting creations, a rich, glamorous couple who solve homicides in between wisecracks and martinis. At once knowing and unabashedly romantic,
The Thin Man
is a murder mystery that doubles as a sophisticated comedy of manners.

WOMAN IN THE DARK
On a dark night a young woman seeks refuge at an isolated house. She is hurt and frightened. The man and woman who live there take her in. But their decency is utterly unequipped to deal with the Woman in the Dark, or with the designs of the men who want her. First published in installments in
Liberty
magazine and now rediscovered after many years,
Woman in the Dark
shows Dashiell Hammett at the peak of his narrative powers.
