The Sam Spade Collection

Enter the world of Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett’s sharp-eyed San Francisco private detective, in a collection bringing together The Maltese Falcon and three short investigations: Too Many Have Lived, They Can Only Hang You Once and A Man Called Spade. The novel’s elusive black bird, shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains sit alongside shorter cases driven by Hammett’s economical dialogue and acute observation. This four-work edition is designed for readers of classic detective fiction and American noir who want to move easily between Spade’s best-known novel and his shorter adventures. This Sanctus Books reading edition includes numbered openings, a linked collection contents page and EPUB navigation, with reflowable text and centered ornamental title and chapter headings.
