Ned Beaumont is a tall, thin, moustache-wearing, TB-ridden, drinking, gambling, hanger-on to the political boss of a corrupt Eastern city. Nevertheless, like every Hammett hero (and like Hammett himself), he has an unbreakable, if idiosyncratic moral code. Ned¿s boss wants to better himself with a thoroughbred senator¿s daughter; but does he want it badly enough to commit murder? If he¿s innocent, who wants him in the frame? Beaumont must find out.

Review:
" Hammett's prose was clean and entirely unique. His characters were as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction. His gift of invention never tempted him beyond the limits of credibility."
