Product Description


Detective-story master Dashiell Hammett gives us yet another unforgettable read in Red Harvest.

Review


Red Harvest takes us into a violent world of corruption and mayhem in this first-rate noir crime novel...a classic case of good cop versus bad cop, and there's no question where Continental Op comes in.-- "Crime Reads"


A brutal and realistic depiction of gang warfare, this gritty crime novel is also 'an acknowledged literary landmark.'-- "New York Times Book Review"


Dashiell Hammett is an original. He is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer.-- "Boston Globe, praise for the author"
