The Complete Continental Op: Volume III: 1928-1930 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798892822770)

"The Complete Continental Op, Volume III: 1928-1930" concludes Dashiell Hammett's iconic series featuring his hard-edged, nameless detective. This volume contains the final few Op stories as well as Hammett's second Continental Op novel, "The Dain Curse."

Written during Hammett's most productive years, these tales - including "The Farewell Murder" and "Death & Co." showcase the Continental Op at his most complex-tough, perceptive, and morally conflicted. The volume includes some of Hammett's most ambitious works, where the line between justice and corruption blurs amid a world of deceit, greed, and violence.

Volume III stands as both the culmination of Hammett's pioneering detective fiction and a testament to his enduring influence on American crime writing.

These stories have been presented here in their original and unabridged format.
