Samuel Dashiell Hammett was an American author of hardboiled detective novels and short stories. Among the enduring characters he created are Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon), Nick and Nora Charles (The Thin Man), and the Continental Op (Red Harvest and The Dain Curse). In addition to the significant influence his novels and stories had on film, Hammett "is now widely regarded as one of the finest mystery writers of all time" and was called, in his obituary in the New York Times, "the dean of the... 'hard-boiled' school of detective fiction."
Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. But Miss Wonderley is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and when Spade's partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby's trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him?

Hammett的对话和浑然天成的比喻真是太棒了,有些写法乍看之下觉得突兀,仔细想想真是绝妙,尤其是把视线和情绪当主语的叙述方式。
评分2011.10.7 典型的美式侦探小说,硬汉,动作,lots of running around... 人物关系简单,切换明了,没有碎碎念,对白是这些美式小说的优势。看起来真的很快。悬疑多少有点单薄,但是还能接受,因为不是很拖沓,所以能很快看下去。几个小时就翻完了...
评分audiobook. It's not really to my taste. It's a waste of money to buy detective novels. I should listen to them.
评分人生中真正意义上看过的第一本英文原版书,马克。可见Sam Spade先生的魅力还是很大的!
