"The Complete Continental Op, Volume II: 1927-1928" continues Dashiell Hammett's groundbreaking series featuring his nameless detective, the Continental Op, and contains some of the Op's most famous adventures - including "The Big Knockover," "$106,000 Blood Money" and the first Continental Op novel: "Red Harvest."This collection captures Hammett at the height of his craft, refining the hardboiled style that would define American crime fiction.
