b'ADVENTURES OF THE FEDERATED TEC Ep. 4 - The Black Hat That Wasn\'t There\\n\\xa0\\n\\n"Adventures of the Federated Tec"! A series of 8 initial episodes of 7 dramatized stories featuring Dashiell Hammett\'s nameless detective. We call him the Federated Tec, but you probably know him as something else. We\'ve chosen Hammett\'s first few stories that have moved into the public domain, and have done our best to stay true to the originals -- and why not? The originals are just fine, as far as we\'re concerned.\\nSo here is episode four, "The Black Hat that Wasn\'t There", adapted by Mark Slade from Hammett\'s fourth published Op story, "IT", in 1923. We hope you enjoy it and will join us for future episodes.\\xa0\\nADVENTURES OF THE FEDERATED TEC\\xa0WAS CONCEIVED BY PETE LUTZ AND DEVELOPED BY PETE LUTZ AND MARK SLADE.\\n"The Black Hat that Wasn\'t There" was directed and produced by Pete Lutz.
