Dashiell Hammett
Dashiell Hammett (1894-1961) está considerado el creador de la novela negra en su vertiente más emblemática. Construyó un universo de ficción autónomo pero profundamente conectado con la realidad de su tiempo. El transcurso del tiempo no ha hecho sino confirmar la opinión de que su obra, a la vez que cumple los requisitos de eficacia y diversión para llegar al gran público, pertenece por derecho propio a la mejor literatura del siglo XX.

When the last honest citizen of Poisonville was murdered, the Continental Op stayed on to punish the guilty--even if that meant taking on an entire town. Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.
