The Maltese Falcon (1930) by Dashiell Hammett
S2E32\xa0Today we've got a classic of the hardboiled detective genre, stuffed with husky dames, fat masterminds, and at the centre of it all a scowling anti-hero, the pleasant blond satan, Sam Spade. Dashiell Hammett's novel gets us talking about the differences between English and American crime fiction, nomenclature and inevitably, Raymond Chandler.\nIntro: Humphrey Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet in\xa0The Maltese Falcon\xa0(1941)Outro: 'The Maltese Falcon' by Adolph Deutsch\nwww.patreon.com/earreadthis\n@earreadthis\nearreadthis@gmail.com\nfacebook.com/earreadthis
