Klappentext
The Dain Curse by Dashiell Hammett is a razor-sharp, fast-paced detective classic that delivers all the grit, glamour, and danger of the golden age of hard-boiled crime fiction.
When a mysterious string of deaths strikes a wealthy San Francisco family, the Continental Op-a tough, unnamed detective from the Continental Agency-finds himself entangled in a case that spirals from a jewel theft to a bizarre cult, drug addiction, and a supposed family curse. At the heart of it all is the enigmatic Gabrielle Dain, a beautiful woman with a troubled past and a perilous future.
Packed with shadowy intrigue, quick-witted dialogue, and relentless momentum, The Dain Curse is more than a whodunit-it's a journey into the dark corners of obsession, corruption, and truth. For fans of noir and classic detective stories, this is Hammett at his most thrilling, a masterclass in suspense that still captivates readers nearly a century later.
Perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, and modern noir thrillers.
