Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Short, thick-bodied, mulishly stubborn, and indifferent to pain, Dashiell Hammett's Continetal Op was the prototype for generations of tough-guy detectives. In these stories the Op unravels a murder with too many clues, looks for a girl with eyes the color of shadows on polished silver, and tangles with a crooked-eared gunman called the Whosis Kid. First published in 1923, this was Hammett's first private eye novel. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
