The second of Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op series is a masterpiece of hard-boiled noir detective fiction. One of the nameless detective's more bizarre cases begins with his investigation of a diamond theft but quickly turns into a tense, twisting tale of murder, cults, addiction, and an alleged family curse. The Continental Op confronts danger with his iconic cynical style in a world of corruption and moral ambiguity.
