A man involved in small-town politics gets mixed up in a murder and some shady dealings. The plot of this book isn't anything special, but Hammet's writing style is. This is vintage 1930's noir and it's the real thing. Not the stuff they're pumping out now that is a parody of the real thing, almost. This is a great read!
