#29 in the NPR “Top 100 Killer Thrillers” list.

2010 Audies ® nominee, in both “Audiobook Adaptation”, and “Audio Drama” categories.

"The Maltese Falcon is not only probably the best detective story we have ever read, it is an exceedingly well written nove." - Times Literary Supplement (London)

"Hammett's prose is clean and entirely unique. His characters are as sharply and economically defined as any in American fiction" - New York Times

"Dashiell Hammett . . . is a master of the detective novel, yes, but also one hell of a writer" - Boston Globe

A treasure worth killing for. Sam Spade, a slightly shop-worn private eye with his own solitary code of ethics; a perfumed grifter named Joel Cairo; a fat man named Gutman; and Brigid O'Shaughnessy, a beautiful and treacherous woman whose loyalties shift at the drop of a dime.

These are the ingredients of Dashiell Hammett's coolly glittering gem of detective fiction, a novel that has haunted three generations of readers.

Like John Ford's celebrated film adaptation, this dramatization by the award-winning Hollywood Theater of the Ear remains faithful to the original; unlike the film, this version is unfettered by a censor's pressure to mute the tough realism of Hammett's vision.
