      About This Book

      The Continental Op was Hammett's first private eye--the model for Sam Spade and all detective heroes that followed. A fat, cold-eyed operative for the Continental Detective Agency, whose only interest is to do his job, he is an isolated hero in a world where violence and treachery are the norm.
