"The stuff that dreams are made of".
This volume collects all the works featuring Sam Spade, the quintessential hard boiled detective including the iconic The Maltese Falcon, that has acquired cult status and has had four film versions including the Humphrey Bogart version that regularly tops most noir classic lists.
Alongside The Maltese Falcon which featured a memorable cast of characters in pursuit of a jewel-encrusted statuette are the other stories starring the laconic Sam Spade in various shades of noir.
Dashiell Hammett's crime thriller and its hard-boiled hero Sam Spade influenced everyone from Chandler to Le Carré ... The Maltese Falcon is the Hammett novel that jumps from the pages of its genre and into literature "-- GUARDIAN
