Read a sample
It was a diamond all right, shining in the grass half a dozen feet from the blue brick walk. It was small, not more than a quarter of a carat in weight, and unmounted. I put it in my pocket and began searching the lawn as closely as I could without going at it on all fours. I had covered a couple of square yards of sod when the Leggetts' front door opened.
🎧 Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.
Description
First published in 1929, this early Hammett novel follows the nameless Continental Op as he investigates a diamond theft that unravels into a tangle of family curses, drug cults, and murder. Darker and stranger than his later work, it's a key link between the pulp detective story and the hard-boiled novel Hammett would go on to perfect.
Includes the full unabridged audiobook (LibriVox recording) along with the ePub.
