With his diamondsharp prose and artfully handled intrigue Dashiell Hammett virtually invented hardboiled crime fiction This omnibus edition includes four linked stories The House in Turk Street The Girl with the Silver Eyes The Big Knockover and 106000 Blood Money featuring the Continental Op Hammetts anonymous toughguy detective In The Dain Curse the Op takes on a wealthy young woman who appears to be the victim of a deadly family curse And in The Glass Key Hammetts own favourite among his works we encounter his most cynical morally ambiguous hero and a hardboiled version of a love triangle In the works collected here we can observe the process by which Hammett both stripped crime fiction down to its most subtle and searing essentials and elevated it to high literature

Some critics and biographers of Dashiell Hammett author of The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man claim that evidence of his Marxism can be found in his stories and novels This new study by conducting an extensive survey of his short stories published and unpublished novels and screen stories demonstrates that it was only at the end of his writing career that Hammett embraced Marxism which wasalmost literallya lifesaver for himHardboiled Activist also shows that rather than being an innocent abroad duped into following every twist and turn of Communist Party policy Hammett knew exactly what he was doing and by taking a fresh look at the beliefs which others find controversial Fuller corrects the distortions of some earlier accounts thus allowing the reader to gain a rounded view of the real HammettThe book painstakingly traces Hammetts political trajectory from the nihilist who found life meaningless to the antifascist campaigner who championed the cause of the Spanish Republic to the defender of civil rights who chose to go to prison rather than betray his principles during the McCarthy period
