Review
'Hammett was the ace performer. He did over and over again what only the best ever do at all' Raymond Chandler.
'The Return of The Thin Man is a must for enthusiasts, with plenty of his trademark snappy dialogue as well as fascinating commentary by Hammett's granddaughter Julie M Rivett and biographer Richard Layman' Guardian.
'A welcome addition to the bibliography of Raymond Chandler's only equal' Independent.
'These two novellas by Hammett are newly discovered sequels to the classic – rough around the edges, but authentic diamonds nonetheless' Saga.
'Hammett's ability to convey so much in so few words makes these tales as fresh to read now as the day they were penned' Big Issue.

In these three novellas, the author brought back his classic characters, retired private investigator Nick Charles and his former debutante wife Nora, who return home to find Nora's family gardener murdered, pulling the couple back into another deadly game of cat and mouse. Hammett has written three fully satisfying "Thin Man" stories, with classic, barbed Hammett dialogue and fully developed characters. They are After the Thin Man, Another Thin Man, and Sequel to the Thin Man which were written for movies, but never published in print form. A clean very presentable copy. Seller Inventory # 016820
