Check out the Continental Op series for quintessential vintage detective short story fiction. Hammett's easily top 3 for me - The Glass Key, The Dain Curse, The Thin Man, The Maltese Falcon ... I never seem to go more than a few months without rereading something of his. Ruhar Ye, me too Ryan, what did you think of the rest of the series? I dug the first one, kinda liked the third, but thought the fourth derailed everything. It would have been cool as a standalone, but putting everything else on hold for it just killed my interest. I actively hated the last two, and kind of wish I'd stopped reading after the third. </rant> -Warren — That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. Top
