Hammett launches icons Nick and Nora Charles in ‘The Thin Man’ (1934)
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Misleading title aside, Nick Charles isn’t the Thin Man. But he is a helluva detective in the hardboiled tradition.

Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Dashiell Hammett only wrote five novels, but the influence outshines the output, especially with this Sam Spade starrer.
