Red Harvest and Other Stories

Dashiell Hammett – the creator of a unique genre of "hard-boiled detective" that soon became a classic in the canon of American literature.
A mining town in the American West is aptly named Poisonville – the "Toxic City." Here, political corruption... blooms profusely; here, gangsters have built their cozy nests; and here, Hammett's beloved hero, the "nameless" private detective, derives truly Machiavellian pleasure by intricately pitting rival criminal organizations against each other with the aim of their mutual destruction.
In addition to the title novel, the collection includes six works about an operative from the "Continental" agency and seven standalone stories previously unpublished in Russian.
