Two never-before published novellas featuring Nick & Nora Charles. Crime writer Dashiell Hammett elevated the genre to true literature, and The Thin Man was his last -- and most successful -- novel. Following the enormous success of the 1934 movie version, Hammett was commissioned to write stories for additional films. He wrote two full-length novellas, pulling his classic characters retired PI Nick Charles and his former debutante wife Nora back into a deadly -- and fully satisfying -- game of cat and mouse.
