Dashiell Hammett - excerpt from The Maltese Falcon
Author background:1894-1961
spent more than 4 years as a Pinkerton agent and wrote stories from the point of view of a detective
he served in the US Army during WWI
Story notes:
Joel Cairo - possibly an actor
Spade - private detective hired by Cairo and seemingly hired by O'Shaughnessy as well
Brigid O'Shaughnessy
As I read the story, I see it playing back as an old 1950's detective show played in black and white. Or like 1990's film, Dick Tracy.
