“A brutal and realistic depiction of gang warfare, this gritty crime novel is also ‘an acknowledged literary landmark.’” New York Times Book Review
Description
Detective-story master Dashiell Hammett gives us yet another unforgettable read in Red Harvest.
When the last honest citizen of Poisonville was murdered, the Continental Op stayed on to punish the guilty—even if that meant taking on an entire town.
Red Harvest is more than a superb crime novel: it is a classic exploration of corruption and violence in the American grain.
