The Tenth Clew and Other Continental Op Stories
Dashiell Hammett
Read by Winston Tharp
Biographer Nathan Ward has called “The Tenth Clew” Dashiell Hammett’s “first real jewel of a story.” In it, Hammett’s nameless Continental Detective Agency operative survives being knocked unconscious and dumped in San Francisco Bay. This kind of action was what his Black Mask magazine editors and readers were asking for, and Hammett somewhat grudgingly obliged them with continuing stories of the Continental Op. (Winston Tharp) (4 hr 32 min)

SHORT. PITHY STORIES
AVID READER
I always wondered why Captain Picard read Hammer. Now I know. They are readable at one sitting, they are very cleverly done, and the reader is excellent. Enjoy.

DH. What a way he writes to bring inside. Then tumbles you about, so we want to leave. One way to make a million is write as he did, 20 percent. A hit Everytime....
