The Return Of The Thin Man
> RETURN OF THE THIN MAN is a landmark publishing event reviving two of legendary crime writer Dashiell Hammett's most beloved charac ters: the charming, if rarely sober, ex-detective Nick Charles and his former-debutante wife Nora. Hammett wrote these two novellas as screen stories for the celebrated films *After the Thin Man* and *Another Thin Man*, sequels to the iconic adaptation of his 1934 novel. *Return of the Thin Man* features the diamond-edged dialogue, larger-than-life characters, and hairpin plot twists that readers expect from America's hard-boiled master craftsman. >AFTER THE THIN MAN >When a dead man is discovered at the door during a party at their home, Nick and Nora Charles are thrust head-first into the investigation and soon uncover a love triangle gone murderously wrong. Digging through both the upper crust and under belly of San Francisco, Nick and Nora must find a killer with murder in his heart and revenge on his mind. >ANOTHER THIN MAN >At a New York mansion, Nick and Nora hear a shot ring out and find the wealthy business partner of Nora's father murdered in his own home. As he untangles the victim's sordid past, Nick comes face-to-face with a ruthless ex-convict who has ties to Nora's father and has Nick, Nora, and even their infant son in his crosshairs. >Containing illuminating notes and introductions from respected Hammett biographer Richard Layman and Hammett's granddaughter Julie M. Rivett, *Return of the Thin Man* is a must-read for both crime fiction fans and those eager to savor one of the most revered of all American writers.
