    • Red Harvest. “I first heard Personville called Poisonville by a red-haired mucker named Hickey Dewey in the Big Ship in Butte. He also called his shirt a shoit.
    • The Dain Curse. The detective is still the Continental Op. The agency is still a business that must make money. The Op still has to report to his superiors.
    • The Maltese Falcon. The center piece. The one. I read somewhere, but I can’t, for the life of me, find the quote to credit it, that “Hammett did what Hemingway was said to have done.”
    • The Glass Key. The Glass Key is a novel of character. Yes, there’s a murder. Whodunnit is a mystery. It even gets solved. It takes place in a small city. A corrupt city.
