Secret Agent X-9 by Dashiell Hammett

4.0

He's a private investigator who is secretly a secret agent! Basically the newspapers hired Hammett to invent a Dick Tracy-like character, drawn by the awesome Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon). The disconnect between a Hammett-style detective and Dick Tracy-style agent with a private plane an a Filipino house-boy is not to be missed!
