About this listen

Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op series introduces a tough, unnamed private detective known as the Continental Op, who works for the Continental Detective Agency. The stories, set primarily in the gritty urban landscapes of the 1920s and 1930s, showcase the Op as he navigates a world filled with crime, corruption, and moral ambiguity. Through his investigations, the Op encounters a variety of characters, including gangsters, femme fatales, and corrupt officials, highlighting the dark underbelly of society. Hammett’s writing is characterized by its sharp prose, realistic dialogue, and a focus on the complexities of human nature, establishing the Op as a pioneering figure in the hardboiled detective genre. The series emphasizes themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the gray areas of justice. This Volume contains the stories Arson Plus, Crooked Souls, Slippery Fingers, It and Bodies Piled Up.
