      One of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century - featuring iconic detective Sam Spade. 'Influenced everyone from Chandler to Le Carré ... The Maltese Falcon is the Hammett novel that jumps from the pages of its genre and into literature' Guardian

      The character Sam Spade is now the subject of a brand new TV series, MONSIEUR SPADE, starring Clive Owen.

      One of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century.


      ''His name remains one of the most important and recognisable in the crime fiction genre. Hammett set the standard for much of the work that would follow'' Independent

      Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. But Miss Wonderley is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O''Shaughnessy, and when Spade''s partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby''s trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him?
