The Maltese Falcon
.
As American as Jazz…the hard-boiled private detective novel. The Maltese Falcon is a classic. Treat yourself to a trip back in time with this book from 1930 by Dashiell Hammett, starring his private detective, Sam Spade. Sam is a man with cold detachment, a keen eye for detail and an unflinching determination to achieve his own justice. The writing is straightforward and clean. If you’re a fan of the movie, you’ll love the book.
I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t read it or seen the movie. Yes, I live under a rock!
