Seller's Description:
Fine in good jacket. First edition/printing. Hardcover. 214 pp. with index, bibliography. Fine in crisp dust jacket with an unfortunate pell lower rear panel from a removed price sticker. The story of how Dashiell Hammett transformed himself from a Pinkerton detective to author of the most iconic detective novels of the 20th century. Hammett worked for Pinkerton on and off from 1915 to 1922 but was forced to retire due the tuberculosis he contracted during World War I. The biographer chronicles Hammett's early life (and some actual Pinkerton cases) and links them to the fictionthat would make him world famous.
