Industry reviews
"This collection of stories adds significantly to the amount of Hammett material in print....At their best, these stories are both terrifying and unexpectedly thrilling." Bernstein "[A] welcome collection of 20 long unavailable stories shot through with themes of the chaos of the world and the corruptibility of society." Guardian (London) - Peter Guttridge (06/03/2001) "An answered prayer for Hammett fans, and a revelation for any serious reader of detective fiction--even if the revelation is of how hard Hammett must have worked to spin his BLACK MASK straw into the gold of RED HARVEST and the MALTESE FALCON." Kirkus Reviews (07/15/1999) "[The stories] may not all be prizewinners, but by most any measurement, this collection rocks." January Magazine - Kevin B. Smith (12/01/1999)
