A review by cspiwak
The Big Book of the Continental Op by Julie M. Rivett, Richard Layman, Dashiell Hammett

4.0

having all of the continental op stories in one place was great. You can see hammet's development and the effects of the different editors. I'd read red harvest before, but not as presented here. I think it is even better without the changes made to put it in novel form. I hadn't read Dain curse before. It is really put there, ( spoiler alert) ####### 5 year old taught to murder?!. Still Hammett was such a sparse and tight writer, he can put anything over
