Summary
About the author
About the narrator

#50 in Bestselling Short Stories Audiobooks

This collection consists of nine crime novellas which were originally published in magazine form in 1924. The plots of Hammett’s stories were drawn from his actual experience as a Pinkerton detective. Hammett viewed the process of detective work not as the pursuit of a few elusive clues, but rather the tedious business of extracting relevant evidence from an overabundance of information.

Hammett drew inspiration for his mystery fiction from his time working as a detective for the Pinkerton Agency.
