A landmark of American crime fiction, The Thin Man introduced the world to Nick and Nora Charles — a wisecracking, hard-drinking, glamorous couple drawn into a Manhattan murder mystery. Nick, a retired detective married to the wealthy Nora, is pulled back into investigative work when a former client's eccentric inventor father goes missing and a body turns up. Hammett chronicles the case with razor-sharp wit, snappy dialogue, and a cast of wonderfully shady characters from New York's underworld and high society alike. The novel set the gold standard for the detective and spouse genre and remains one of the most entertaining and stylish thrillers ever written.
