Samuel Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler... now you’re talking. These two were masters of the English language and each could crank out a story with the best of them. I think I’ve read every story these two wrote, and if I missed one it wasn’t for lack of trying.
And the Win Wenders film ‘Hammett’ starring Frederic Forrest and Peter Boyle is well worth seeing.
Dear Pelham,
There are 10 books of published and ‘discovered’ works of Mssr. Hammett in possession, and a few of Chandler (working on it), also Hard Case Crime series.
Thank you for the ‘head’s up’ on that movie!
I looked. Amazon only offers it as a digital rent or own. Again, I thank you.
