Rese�a del editor:

Ned Beaumont is a tall, thin, moustache-wearing, TB-ridden, drinking, gambling, hanger-on to the political boss of a corrupt Eastern city. Nevertheless, like every Hammett hero (and like Hammett himself), he has an unbreakable, if idiosyncratic moral code. Ned�s boss wants to better himself with a thoroughbred senator�s daughter; but does he want it badly enough to commit murder? If he�s innocent, who wants him in the frame? Beaumont must find out.

Biograf�a del autor:

B.1894, d.1961. After spells as newsboy, freight clerk, labourer, messenger, stevedore and advertising manager, Hammett became an operative of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. His experiences as a private detective laid the foundation for his writing career.
