THE HUNTER AND OTHER STORIES - DASHIELL HAMMETT...

A new collection of crime stories from the legendary hard-boiled writer Dashiell Hammett. The
author of classic novels The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon  Hammett has been called 'a master
of the detective novel  yes  but also one hell of a writer' (The Boston Globe)  while Raymond
Chandler raved that Hammett 'wrote scenes that seemed never to have been written before.' Two
previously unseen 'Thin Man' novellas were recently published together as Return of the Thin
Man  which garnered strong praise: the New York Journal of Books called it a reason to
'rediscover why Dashiell Hammett was the peerless master of crime fiction in all its dark and
bloody glory ' while The Wall Street Journal praised it as 'an occasion for delight.' This new
collection  The Hunter and Other Stories  includes several more never-before-published short
stories  and  like the screenstories from Return of the Thin Man  the pieces here read as
novellas - rich in both storyand character - that no Hammett fanshould do without.
