NinaBryna (Israel) (2011/08/10):
Ten classic suspense stories from the 1920s and 1930s, selected and introduced by Lillian Hellman.
"Dashiell Hammett gave murder back to the kind of people that commit it for reasons, not just to provide a corpse; and with the means at hand, not with hand wrought duelling pistols, curare, and tropical fish." Raymond Chandler
