Beschreibung
Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) was an American author widely recognized as the trailblazer of hardboiled detective fiction with his unsentimental, breakneck storytelling chockfull of fastpaced, slangy dialogue and abrupt, explosive violence. In 1930 he published The Maltese Falcon, the novel that sharpened the genre to a lethal point, unveiling Sam Spade - a private eye with a moral code all his own and a talent for keeping his face as unreadable as a blank ledger. In a San Francisco where every kindness is a setup and every partnership is a temporary convenience, he's hired to track down a missing woman, a search that spirals into a deadly hunt for a legendary falcon statuette, drawing Spade into the orbit of a trio of schemers whose charm is as dangerous as their desperation, each willing to lie, bleed, or kill for a chance to touch its promise. As the bodies stack up, the prize proves as treacherous as the people chasing it, and Spade must navigate a maze of deceit where survival means nothing if it costs him the one thing worse than death - being played for a fool.
