Description
Dashiell Hammett's The Thin Man is a gripping mystery novel that follows Nick Charles as he navigates a complex web of murder, mayhem and deception. After a quiet Christmas at home, Nick is forced back into business when a bullet-riddled corpse and a missing inventor set him on a collision course with gangsters, hoodlums and speakeasies. As Nick struggles to make sense of the case, he must contend with false leads, suspicious alibis and mistaken identities. Alongside his glamorous wife Nora, Nick is thrown into a world where no-one can be trusted. With its breakneck plot and snappy dialogue, this story is a thrillingly enjoyable mystery that showcases Hammett's mastery of the hardboiled crime novel. First published in 1932, The Thin Man is one of Dashiell Hammett's most famous novels, alongside The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key. If you enjoy this book, you may also like other titles by Raymond Chandler, available in Penguin Modern Classics.
