Omschrijving

'Dashiell Hammett is an original. He is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer' BOSTON GLOBE

His name remains one of the most important and recognisable in the crime fiction genre. Hammett set the standard for much of the work that would follow

He is master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer

The first fully "hard-boiled" hero in American letters

Hammett's prose is clean and entirely unique. His characters are as sharp and economically defined as any in American literature

He put these people down on paper as they are, and he made them talk and think in the language they customarily used

Dashiell Hammett's crime thriller and its hard-boiled hero Sam Spade influenced everyone from Chandler to Le Carré

Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) was born in Maryland, left school at 14 and had several jobs - messenger boy, newsboy, clerk, timekeeper, yardman, machine operator and stevedore - until he became an operative for the Pinkerton Detective Agency. His experiences as a private detective laid the foundations for his writing career. His work includes The Maltese Falcon, Red Harvest, The Glass Key, The Thin Man and some eighty short stories, mostly published in Black Mask magazine.
