The Maltese Falcon

A coolly gleaming jewel of detective fiction from one of the greatest mystery authors of all time that has plagued three generations of readers.This is a prize worth dying for. Sam Spade is a grizzled private investigator with his own set of rules. Joel Cairo, a perfumed grafter, Gutman, an obese man, and Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful and deceitful lady whose loyalties turn on a dime. Dashiell Hammett's classic, influential, and beloved The Maltese Falcon contains these components.
