Mystery
Dashiell Hammett was a crime writer who elevated the genre
to true literature, and The Thin Man was Hammett's last--and
most successful--novel. Following the enormous success of
"The Thin Man" movie in 1934, Hammett was commissioned to
write stories for additional films. He wrote two full-length
novellas, for the films that became "After the Thin Man" and
"Another Thin Man". Bringing back his classic characters,
retired private investigator Nick Charles and his former
debutante wife Nora, who return home to find Nora’s family
gardener murdered, pulling the couple back into another
deadly game of cat and mouse. Hammett has written two fully
satisfying "Thin Man" stories, with classic, barbed Hammett
dialogue and fully developed characters. Neither of these stories has been previously published
(except for a partial in a small magazine 25 years ago). The
Return of the Thin Man is a hugely entertaining read that
brings back two classic characters from one of the greatest
of mystery writers who ever lived. This book is destined to
become essential reading for Hammett's millions of fans and
a new generation of mystery readers the world over.
