Another great turn of phrase by Hammett! Treasures from the noir trove!
I love how his characters speak.

“This is actual money, genuine coin of the realm, sir. With a dollar of this you can buy more than with ten dollars of talk.” - Gutman, Chapter 18

Excerpt From

I understand the importance of this book as one of the first "hardboiled" crime novels but it's just so on the nose that it reads like a satire of a hardboiled crime novel!!!

Not as into it as I was hoping, still solid.

Not as big of a fan as I’ve wanted to be so far, but not bad enough to stop

As I was preparing my update to say "it's important for the reading experience to imagine that all of these characters are speaking with the trans-Atlantic accent," I came across the line: "His eyes burned yellowly." What does that even mean, Dashiell?
