The Maltese Falcon

It’s a treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shopworn private eye with his own solitary code of ethics, a perfumed grafter named Joel Cairo, a fat man name Gutman, and Brigid O’Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime — these are the ingredients of Dashiell Hammett’s iconic, influential, and beloved The Maltese Falcon.
