Rich in both story and character, this is a volume no Hammett fan should do without.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysterious Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802121592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Dashiell Hammett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39521841217717,"sku":"9780802121592","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2591eafd-151b-4a81-b323-a7b5542c3b23.jpg?v=1616506921","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-hunter-and-other-stories-9780802121592","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
