A review by timmason
The Adventures of Sam Spade and Other Stories by Dashiell Hammett

4.0

Hammett knew how to write stories. No messing about ; just the facts. He recorded a dark world, where everyone was on the take, and towns were run in the interests of the criminally inclined. He allows that world to tell its own story, without any of the characters telling you what to think about it.

Sounds right.
