The Maltese Falcon is a 1930, hardboiled detective novel by Dashiell Hammett, featuring private eye Sam Spade in San Francisco, who gets entangled in a dangerous hunt for a jewel-encrusted falcon statuette after his partner’s murder. The story is known for its cynical tone, spare prose, and morally ambiguous characters, establishing the “hardboiled” genre and introducing the archetype of the tough, solitary detective. It has been adapted into several films, most famously the 1941 noir classic starring Humphrey Bogart.

Enjoy!

Dashiell Hammett (May 27, 1894, St. Mary’s County, Maryland, U.S.—died January 10, 1961, New York City, New York) was an American writer who created the hard-boiled school of detective fiction in popular short stories and novels that pioneered the use of tough, slangy prose and realistic urban settings. Many of Hammett’s works were adapted into movies that became among the finest examples of film noir. Among his indelible characters are Sam Spade, the quintessential world-weary private eye, and Nick and Nora Charles, a dashing, cocktail-loving husband-and-wife team who solve murder mysteries.
