The Dain curse

While investigating a diamond theft from the Leggett family, the Continental Op stumbles on a bizarre yet deadly family curse. Causing sudden and violent death, the Dain curse is said to affect beautiful Gabrielle Leggett. But as a morphine addict and member of a mysterious religious cult, Gabrielle may be involved with more than just a family curse. With time running out and a body-count that continues to rise, the Continental Op must get to the truth behind the Dain curse. One of Dashiell Hammett's best-known characters, the Continental Op is an original man of mystery, known only by his title, and is modeled on Hammet's own experience as a Pinkerton detective. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms. Look for more titles in the HarperPerennial Classics collection to build your digital library.
