Dashiell Hammett's The Glass Key - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
Dashiell Hammett's "The Glass Key" is one of the most popular hard‑boiled crime novels ever written. The book's twist-filled plot formed the basis for the Coen Brothers' critically acclaimed film "Miller's Crossing."
The book is centered on Ned Beaumont, the loyal right-hand man of political boss Paul Madvig. When a young man named Taylor Henry-son of a powerful senator-is found murdered, suspicion falls on Madvig, who is romantically interested in the senator's daughter, Janet. Determined to clear his friend's name, Beaumont investigates the killing and uncovers a web of political corruption, betrayal, and deceit.
With its sharp dialogue, cynical tone, and intricate plotting, "The Glass Key" stands as one of Hammett's most complex and psychologically rich works, influencing the noir genre for decades to come. It is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
