Description: Short, thick-bodied, mulishly stubborn, and indifferent to pain, Dashiell Hammetts Continetal Op was the prototype for generations of tough-guy detectives. In these stories the Op unravels a murder with too many clues, looks for a girl with eyes the color of shadows on polished silver, and tangles with a crooked-eared gunman called the Whosis Kid. Dashiell Hammett (alnog with ) is the father of noir. Hammetts other stories featuring the Continental Op (Red Harvest) I didnt particularly care for - I much preferred Hammetts (The Maltese Falcon). Had I read this collection of short stories first, I am certain I wouldve felt differently about the character. The main character (and narrator) is never named - rather, he is simply referred to as an operative for the Continental Detective agency (hence the moniker Continental Op.) Stocky, clever and ruthrless, he is a tough a shoe leather, but lacks the witty banter and dry humor of Spade or Chandlers . Nonetheless, the stories are tremendously entertaining.In _The Continental Op_, there are 7 short stoes running through a variety of cases - missing persons, fraud, stolen property and even murder. Each is a suprise, readers (like the Continental Op himself), often caught off guard regarding how the story will turn out. The House in Turk Street and its sequel, The Girl With the Silver Eyes are particular favorites, as Hammett has us believing we are on one case before we (and the Op) find ourselves involved in another case entirely. It is simply brilliant storytelling.As with Hammetts other stories, the writing is delicious (the road looked like a seals back in the rain) and his description is as dark as it is vivid (His body was arched, as if its weight rested on his heels and the back of his head. A knife handle that couldnt have been less than six inches long stood straight up in the air from the left side of his chest.) There is a reason why after over 75 years people still read (and re-read) Hammett and why he has such legion of fans. _The Continental Op_ is my new favorite Hammett book. If you havent read any of his stories before, this is the book I would recommend you read as an introduction to him.
