"A la façon d'une enquête sur les faits sans anecdotes, une biographie bâtie comme un dossier où la recherche prévaut sur l'exégèse. Un témoignage véridique sur l'un des plus grands auteurs américains de romans criminels qui révolutionna la formule par son style dru sans complaisances et sa vision ironique des événements des années 1930. Appareil bibliographique très complet."
"Hammett, the former Pinkerton detective who reinvented the mystery story in five books written between 1929 and 1934, is carefully examined. An unsentimental account of his life from a rural Maryland youth through the Pinkerton years in San Francisco, fame as a novelist, notoriety as a Hollywood screen writer, imprisonment as an uncooperative McCarthy committee witness, and an obscure death in 1961."
