The quintessential hard-boiled detective, Hammett’s Sam Spade is faced with a mystery that verges on the unraveling of everything he knows. A beautiful woman spins a tale of betrayal and backstabbing surrounding a mysterious black bird statue, and engages Spade’s services in trying to retrieve it. But where does her lying end and the truth begin? And all the while, the police are after Spade for the murder of his partner Miles Archer–a murder that, somehow, Spade’s client is bound up in. Hammett’s tale of one man’s search for order and truth is as close to a perfect mystery novel as anyone is going to get, and often rises above the genre as a tightly-constructed literary masterpiece, rich in both character and plot.
