The Prequel to Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon

Average rating3
This book required a lot more suspension of disbelief than I usually can muster. It's not that the general events were so improbable, it's the omniscience of Sam Spade that got my eyes to rolling. Once I accepted that it would be “that type” of book, the story became really very enjoyable.
