Samuel Dashiell Hammett, “Red Harvest”

A groundbreaking work in the development of American crime fiction

 

Published in 1929, Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett is a groundbreaking work in the development of American crime fiction, cementing its author’s reputation as a pioneer of the hardboiled detective genre. Set in the corrupt and violent town of Personville—nicknamed “Poisonville”—the novel chronicles the exploits of an unnamed private detective known only as the Continental Op, who is hired to clean up the town’s endemic corruption. What unfolds is a gritty, fast-paced tale of greed, betrayal, and violence that strips away the glamour often associated with crime and reveals the stark, brutal realities of human nature.

 

Samuel Dashiell Hammett (1894–1961) was an American author and screenwriter whose work revolutionized crime fiction.
