Description

A value worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private-eye together with his own solitary code of ethics. A fragrant grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat guy title Gutman, and Brigid O’Shaughnessy, an attractive and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a cent. These would be the elements of Dashiell Hammett’s coolly glistening jewel of detective fiction, a story that's haunted three decades of visitors.
