"Bloody Harvest" is Hammett's debut novel. It is actually composed of three interrelated but independent murder cases. The three puzzles are all quite exciting. In addition, Hammett is good at describing the battle of wits between detectives and criminals. This book is even more readable than "The Maltese Falcon".

A beautiful woman came to ask Sam Spade to track the man who had eloped with her sister. However, the partner Sam sent died in a dark alley that night, and the person being followed also died a few hours later. Sam soon discovered that things were very different from the woman's story. Wrapped up in many lies, the core of the incident turned out to be a medieval royal tribute, the "Maltese Eagle." A group of criminals started a deceitful fight around it. They took turns engaging in secret robberies, serial deceptions, financial bribes and honey traps. How will Sam recognize their true identity? The book comes with a beautiful bookmark and a value-for-money full-color "Incomplete Manual of the Maltese Falcon" to provide you with a comprehensive analysis of Hammett and his Maltese Falcon!
