    • The Continental Op Series. The Original. Whenever Dashiell Hammett books are ranked his Continental Op series is always at the top, and for good reason. The series, which consists of a combination of novels and short stories is really what earned Hammett his title as one of the founding fathers of the hardboiled detective genre.
    • The Glass Key. Loyalty. The Glass Key is often referred to as one of the best Dashiell Hammett books and I can’t argue with that. The novel has all the hallmarks of a great Hammett piece.
    • The Thin Man. A Retired Couple. These days the cliche of the retired hero coming out of retirement for one last hurrah is a little tired. However, when The Thin Man, one of the best novels by Dashiell Hammett, was written in 1934 the idea was still innovative.
    • The Maltese Falcon. Betrayal. To this day The Maltese Falcon is one of the most popular Dashiell Hammett books and is considered a master class in how to write a hard-boiled detective story.
