Return of the Thin Man

Hammett, Dashiell, 1894-1961.

Large Print 2013

Crime writer Dashiell Hammett elevated the genre to true literature and The Thin Man was his last - and most successful - novel. Following the enormous success of the 1934 movie version, Hammett was commissioned to write stories for additional films. He wrote two full length novellas, pulling his classic characters, retired PI Nick Charles and his former debutante wife Nora, back into a deadly - and fully satisfying - game of cat and mouse.
