October Book Club Selection - THE MALTESE FALCON by Dashiell Hammett

This month's book has us taking a look at a classic hard-boiled detective novel. We've seen the movie, but we've never read the book. Let's do it together.

Here's the summary:

Sam Spade is hired by the fragrant Miss Wonderley to track down her sister, who has eloped with a louse called Floyd Thursby. But Miss Wonderley is in fact the beautiful and treacherous Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and when Spade's partner Miles Archer is shot while on Thursby's trail, Spade finds himself both hunter and hunted: can he track down the jewel-encrusted bird, a treasure worth killing for, before the Fat Man finds him?

The live-streamed discussion of The Maltese Falcon will occur Friday, November 1st at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. We’ll see you there!
