Items related to The Maltese Falcon
Hammett's 1930 detective novel is widely regarded as the first and finest novel of the hard-boiled private detective. Sam Spade has a cold detachment, keen eye for detail and an unflinching determination to achieve his own justice. Regarded by many as the greatest crime novel of the 20th century, it has been ranked in the top 100 of English- language novels. The Maltese Falcon has been filmed several times, most famously by John Huston with Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade.

Review:
Dashiell Hammett . . . is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer. The Boston Globe
The Maltese Falcon is not only probably the best detective story we have ever read, it is an exceedingly well written novel. The Times Literary Supplement (London)
Hammett s prose [is] clean and entirely unique. His characters [are] as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction. The New York Times
