The author of classic novels \u003cem\u003eThe Thin Man\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Maltese Falcon\u003c\/em\u003e, Hammett has been called 'a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer' (\u003cem\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e), while Raymond Chandler raved that Hammett 'wrote scenes that seemed never to have been written before.' Two previously unseen 'Thin Man' novellas were recently published together as \u003cem\u003eReturn of the Thin Man\u003c\/em\u003e, which garnered strong praise: the \u003cem\u003eNew York Journal of Books\u003c\/em\u003e called it a reason to 'rediscover why Dashiell Hammett was the peerless master of crime fiction in all its dark and bloody glory,' while \u003cem\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e praised it as 'an occasion for delight.' This new collection, \u003cem\u003eThe Hunter and Other Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, includes several more never-before-published short stories, and, like the screen stories from \u003cem\u003eReturn of the Thin Man\u003c\/em\u003e, the pieces here read as novellas rich in both story and character that no Hammett fan should do without.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dashiell Hammett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47976486305941,"sku":"9781843443438","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9781843443438","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
