Five Continental Op Stories

by Dashiell Hammett

Five Continental Op Stories by Dashiell Hammett is a collection of five short stories featuring the Continental Op, a hardboiled detective who works for the Continental Detective Agency in San Francisco in the 1920s. The stories are written in a gritty and realistic style, and they offer a glimpse into the seedy underbelly of the city. The Continental Op is a tough and resourceful detective, but he is also compassionate and fair. He is a man who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done, but he never loses sight of his own moral code.
