Classic Detective Noir !
Ben Fitzgerald
Doesn’t get any better than Dashiell Hammett’s detective noir, read by one of the best Narrators around; Mark Nelson! Simply Great, thanks you LibriVox and Mark Nelson.
Wonderful

Mark Nelson is a man on a mission, to bring the great Hammett to life for us. The fourth story, 'It,' is a personal favourite.
Short and sweet

It was ok. His style of writing is great in short or long doses.
