Nightmare town : stories / Dashiell Hammett ; edited by Kirby McCauley, Martin H. Greenberg, and Ed Gorman ; with an introduction by William F. Nolan - 1st ed. - New York : Knopf , 1999. - xvii, 396 p. ; 25 cm.
Here are twenty long-unavailable stories by the master who brought us The Maltese Falcon . Laconic coppers, lowlifes, and mysterious women double- and triple-cross their colleagues with practiced nonchalance. A man on a bender awakens in a small town with a dark mystery at its heart. A woman confronts a brutal truth about her husband. Here is classic noir: hard-boiled descriptions to rival Hemingway, verbal exchanges punctuated with pistol shots and fisticuffs. Devilishly plotted, whip-smart, impassioned, Nightmare Town is a treasury of tales from America's poet laureate of the dispossessed.
