Dashiell Hammett
About this listen
Blackstone Publishing presents a faithful, full-cast dramatization of The Maltese Falcon, Dashiell Hammett’s intense and immersive hard-boiled detective classic that redefined the genre.
“Don’t be too sure I’m as crooked as I’m supposed to be. That kind of reputation might be good business.”—Samuel Spade, private investigator
Brilliant detective Sam Spade is the quintessential private eye, with his own code of ethics. When a standard stakeout goes wrong and Spade’s partner is killed, he finds himself drawn into the hunt for a fantastic treasure of dubious origin—a golden bird encrusted with jewels. But he’s not the only one on the trail of the falcon. Hot on his heels are Joel Cairo, a perfumed grifter; an oversized adventurer named Gutman; and Spade’s new client Brigid O’Shaughnessy, a beautiful but treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a hat.
With vividly drawn characters and memorable dialogue, this full-cast dramatization by the award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear brings to life all the excitement and suspense of Hammett’s original in the playhouse of the mind.
