Samuel Dashiell Hammett was an American author of hardboiled detective novels and short stories. Among the enduring characters he created are Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon), Nick and Nora Charles (The Thin Man), and the Continental Op (Red Harvest and The Dain Curse). In addition to the significant influence his novels and stories had on film, Hammett "is now widely regarded as one of the finest mystery writers of all time" and was called, in his obituary in the New York Times, "the dean of the... 'hard-boiled' school of detective fiction."
Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. But Miss Wonderley is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and when Spade's partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby's trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him?

人生中真正意義上看過的第一本英文原版書,馬剋。可見Sam Spade先生的魅力還是很大的!
評分Hammett的對話和渾然天成的比喻真是太棒瞭,有些寫法乍看之下覺得突兀,仔細想想真是絕妙,尤其是把視綫和情緒當主語的敘述方式。
評分2011.10.7 典型的美式偵探小說,硬漢,動作,lots of running around... 人物關係簡單,切換明瞭,沒有碎碎念,對白是這些美式小說的優勢。看起來真的很快。懸疑多少有點單薄,但是還能接受,因為不是很拖遝,所以能很快看下去。幾個小時就翻完瞭...

評分最後纔把事情看清,美麗的外錶下藏著無數的心機.那個年代的小說人物綫發展得如此清晰.When a man's partner is killed he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. I won't play sap for you.
