Nightmare Town

Original incarnations of the Continental Op, Sam Spade, and Nick Charles appear in this collection of twenty of Dashiell Hammett`s more than one hundred works of short detective fiction. Most of the stories compiled here were first seen in the pulp magazine Black Mask and this assemblage includes the first book printing of The First Thin Man --the short story that would later become Hammett`s classic mystery novel THE THIN MAN.
